Color management


We need to understand color, what happens to it when it is used with other devices, printed, etc.

We need to be sure that we get the color we want at the end, whether it is printed, projected, a website, etc.


This might be a decent analogy. If I went to a restaurant in France, I would want the food I order to be exactly what I expect when it is served.

I might want it prepared a certain way. I would need someone to translate this into French for me, to be sure that what I want is what I get.
