| sRGB |
| Standard |
| originally developed by HP and Microsoft as a common color |
| language for monitors, input devices (scanners, digital cameras), and |
| output devices (printers, plotters). It is the default color space used for |
| HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and |
| most office software sold today. sRGB is representative of the typical |
| Windows PC monitor today and the convergence standard for high- |
| definition television. |

|
Note | Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room’s lighting can |
| affect the appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, |
| see Matching colors. |
| The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDRAW™ , Microsoft |
| |
| Office, and many other applications use sRGB to communicate color. |
| Most importantly, as the default color space in Microsoft operating |
| systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a means to exchange |
| color information between applications and devices using a common |
| definition that assures typical users will experience greatly improved |
| color matching. sRGB improves your ability to match colors between |
| the printer, the PC monitor and other input devices (scanner, digital |
| camera) automatically, without the need to become a color expert. |
