<title>What is a color profile?</title>
17
A color profile is a set of data that characterizes either a device
18
such as a projector or a color space such as sRGB.
21
Most color profiles are in the form of an ICC profile, which is a
22
small file with a <input>.ICC</input> or <input>.ICM</input> file
26
Color profiles can be embedded into images to specify the gamut range
28
This ensures that users see the same colors on different devices.
31
Every device that is processing color should have it's own ICC
32
profile and when this is achieved the system is said to have an
33
<em>end-to-end color-managed workflow</em>.
34
With this kind of workflow you can be sure that colors are not being
added
removed
