What is Colour Management?

A set of software technologies that seeks to match colour across input, display, and output devices by referencing their colour behaviour to a known standard by means of device profiles. The signals each device receives are adjusted in such a way that theperceived colour remains consistent.

Why is Colour Management needed?

How many times have you heard “Why don’t the colours on the monitor match the colours that come out of the printer?” or “How come digital prints look different from scanned originals?” There are many reasons, based in complex colour science, why the appearance of a colour image is difficult to predict on different devices. In many ways, communication in colour has problems similar to those with communication in languages. Each device is like a person, speaking his or her own language. When one person that speaks French attempts to communicate with another person that speaks Japanese, there is a breakdown, and the message is not communicated accurately, if at all. What’s needed is an interpreter that is capable of interpreting the language as well as the dialect, to ensure that the message is properly communicated. The same holds true for colour reproduction.
