Coarse colour-space classification
Values
| Value | Description | Deprecated |
|---|---|---|
DEVICE_CMYK | Uncalibrated device CMYK — the native space for most press work. | |
DEVICE_GRAY | Single-channel device grey, uncalibrated. | |
DEVICE_N | Several named colourants addressed together, such as a duotone or a spot-plus-process combination. | |
DEVICE_RGB | Uncalibrated device RGB. In a CMYK print workflow this is what triggers a late, uncontrolled conversion. | |
ICC_BASED | Colour carrying an embedded ICC profile, so its appearance is defined independently of the output device. | |
INDEXED | A palette space, where samples index into a table of colours held in some other base space. | |
LAB | CIE Lab* — device-independent by construction, with no profile needed. | |
SEPARATION | A single named colourant, i.e. one spot ink. |
