Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor color
temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to
your monitor's Color Temperature. Many modern monitors
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the
monitor's control panel.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
• 5000k or D50
Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphics arts
environments.
• 6500k or D65
Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
• 9300k
Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature)
How your software application displays color
Some graphics applications such as Macromedia Freehand or
Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application's
online help or user manual for more information.
Paper type
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.
