<title>What is a color profile?</title>
<p>
A color profile is a set of data that characterizes either a device
such as a projector or a color space such as sRGB.
</p>
<p>
Most color profiles are in the form of an ICC profile, which is a
small file with a <input>.ICC</input> or <input>.ICM</input> file
extension.
</p>
<p>
Color profiles can be embedded into images to specify the gamut range
of the data.
This ensures that users see the same colors on different devices.
</p>
<p>
Every device that is processing color should have its own ICC
profile and when this is achieved the system is said to have an
<em>end-to-end color-managed workflow</em>.
With this kind of workflow you can be sure that colors are not being
lost or modified.
