Color Lists are produced when profiles are built using profile construction software. You can also produce them synthetically in a text editor or spreadsheet program. Typically device settings (RGB, CMYK, and so forth) are compared with CIE color readings (XYZ, Lab, etc) to create an ICC profile. In most profiling applications, these color lists can be exported and brought into use within ColorThink.

How Color Lists are Specified

Color Lists are specified either by CIE color or device color. This is an important differentiation when applying a profile to a color list. If a list is defined by CIE color, then the “Colors” column values will not change. Any device profile can be applied to the list and the device colorspace will reflect the device colorspace of the applied profile. If a list is defined by device color, then only device profiles whose device color spaces match the device space of the list may be applied to the list. Either the Color or Device column text will be marked in bold text showing how the list is specified.
