Color management is the practical application of the science of color perception and reproduction to make it possible to predict and previsualize how colors will be reproduced using differing mediums such as fabric and photographic dyes, CRT and LCD computer screens, and various types of printing.
Human perception of color is highly subjective and changes depending on the viewing conditions. Color management quantifies color using a device called a photospectrometer, which can record the intensity of each wavelength (i.e., color) of light. Using this tool color scientists have create a “roadmap” for color which can be used as a tool for standardization and communication of color information between devices.
