    (or its packaging), a video, or a printed advertisement. In early 2007, Hewlett-Packard introduced HP DreamColor—a set of technologies and use models that provide accuracy, predictability, and ease of use for color reproduction systems. HP DreamColor combines HP technologies with existing color management tools to provide outstanding color reproduction throughout a digital workflow.

  • Page 3: Managing Color

    Managing color We will begin with a brief introduction to color, including a description of one method of mathematically quantifying color. Next, we will present an overview of a typical digital workflow, and finally, we will discuss how color is maintained throughout that workflow. The property of color Color is a tricky thing.

    green light produces a reddish-purple hue (red + blue, or magenta), while subtracting the red results in cyan, a combination of blue and green. Thus, the cyan-magenta-yellow set comprises the subtractive primaries—typically used in printing. However, since real-world subtractive primaries don’t really absorb all the light at any given wavelength, combining the three doesn’t generally give a very good black.

    Figure 2. The CIE 1976 u’v’ chromaticity coordinate system. Gamuts The CIE 1976 system is a useful way to describe the color that a certain device or system is capable of producing. Since it is based on the additive primary colors (RGB), the subset of colors that a device or system can produce can be described by a triangle superimposed on a CIE chart;...
