sRGB

 

Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a world-wide color 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.
