Chapter 14—Glossary

color cast

The predominance of a particular color that affects the whole image in the original, proof, or reproduction. A color cast is due to an excess of a color pigment or light. It is most obvious in gray and near-gray areas.

color channel

A single color, such as red, green, or blue.

color correction

The process of improving or altering the color components of an image to compensate for deficiencies in printing inks, to solve problems in the color separation itself, or to fulfill a customer’s request for modification.

color gamut

The range of possible colors that can be represented in a given circumstance, such as within a given color space or by a certain output device.

color management

A process that aims to control the representation of colors across a variety of output devices so that the colors that are generated appear consistent. Color management is based on the coordination of three processes: device calibration, device characterization, and conversion from one color space to another.

color mapping

A color-correction method used to convert an input file’s color space to a target’s color space.
