Color and 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.
