ICC (International Color Consortium)

The International Color Consortium (ICC) is a group that creates common standards for accurately matching colors across different devices like cameras, monitors, printers, and scanners. Their goal is to ensure that the colors you see or print are consistent, no matter the device or platform. ICC develops color profiles—digital files that describe how each device reproduces colors—allowing different devices to communicate color information effectively. This standardization helps photographers, designers, and printers achieve precise color accuracy, resulting in images that look the same across all devices.
