Why colors sometimes don'tmatch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No device in a publishing system is capable of reproducing the full range of colors viewable to the human eye. Each device operates within a specific color space, which can produce a certain range, orgamut, of colors. The RGB and CMYK color modes represent two main categories of color spaces. Thegamuts of the RGB and CMYK spaces are very different; while the RGB gamut is is, capable of representing more color) than CMYK, some CMYK colors still fall outside the RGB range. In addition, different devices produce slightly different gamuts within the same color mode. For example, a variety of RGB spaces can exist among scanners and monitors, and a variety of CMYK spaces can exist among printing presses. Because of these varying color spaces, colors can shift in appearance as you transfer documents between different devices. * View your documents in an environment that provides a consistent light level * View your document in a room with neutral-colored walls and ceiling. A room's color can affect the perception of both monitor color and printed color. * Remove colorful background and user-interface patterns on your monitor desktop then you can View document proofs in the real-world conditions under which your audience will see the final piece. Color Management Off Uses passive color management techniques to emulate the behavior of applications that do not support color management. It is strongly recommended that you keep the AskWhen Opening and Ask When Pasting options selected.
