Color science is the science of color and its perception. It includes physical, physiological, psychological, and applied aspects of color. Color management is the application of the theories and methods of color science to practice to ensure color consistency across different devices or systems.
Color science. Color science studies the physical, physiological, psychological, and applied aspects of color and its perception.
Physics** studies the physical properties of color, including the wavelength, brightness, chromaticity, etc. of light.
Physiological aspects** study the physiological perception of color, including the retina, brain, etc.
Psychological aspect** studies the psychological perception of color, including the relationship between color and emotions, memory, etc.
Application** Research on the application of color, including color design, color evaluation, etc.
Color management. Color management is the application of the theories and methods of color science to practice to ensure color consistency across different devices or systems.
The main objectives of color management are:
Ensure color consistency across different devices or systems to avoid color differences.
Improve color accuracy and repeatability.
Streamline the color management process.
The main methods of color management include:
Color space: A color space is a mathematical model used to describe colors. Different color spaces have different color gamuts and color characteristics.
Color File Format: The color file format is used to store color information. Common color file formats include ICC Profile, CMYK, RGB, and more.
Color management software: Color management software is used to achieve color management. Common color management software includes Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, and more.
Application of color management.
Color management is widely used in graphic design, printing, photography, film and television, industrial manufacturing and other fields.
Graphic design: Color management ensures that graphic design work displays consistent colors across devices.
Printing: Color management ensures color consistency between prints and designs.
Photography: Color management ensures that your photos display consistent colors across devices.
Film & TV: Color management ensures that movies and TV productions display consistent colors across devices.
Industrial manufacturing: Color management ensures that industrial products are consistent in color.
Color management is a complex technology, but it is important to ensure color consistency across different devices or systems.
