This chapter provides an introduction to color management, what it is, and how it works. A color management system connects different types of color imaging devices and provides a way to alter the underlying pixel values in an image as images flow seamlessly between different color imaging devices. The real power of color management is evident in printer‐based workflows. The International Color Consortium (ICC) is a regulatory body that supervises color management protocols between software vendors, equipment manufacturers and users. Color specification falls into two main categories: device‐dependent color (RGB and CMYK) and device‐independent color (Yxy and L*a*b*). Practical color management processes can be defined in terms of three hierarchical Cs: calibration, characterization, and conversion. Color management cannot solve the problem of gamut compression, but it can provide an accurate warning of which colors will be affected and in what way.
