COLOR IMAGING FOR MULTIMEDIA

To a significant degree, multimedia applications derive their effectiv eness from the use of color graphics, images, and video. However, the requirements for accurate color reproduction and for the preservation of this information across display and print devices that have very di fferent characteristics and may be geographically apart are often not clearly understood. This paper describes the basics of color science, color input and output devices, color management, and calibration that help in defining and meeting these requirements.
