The International Color Consortium (ICC)

The International Color Consortium (ICC) is an organization that develops and maintains standards for consistent color management across different devices like cameras, monitors, printers, and scanners. Its goal is to ensure that colors look the same regardless of where or how they are viewed, creating a uniform experience when sharing digital images or artwork. ICC achieves this through the use of standardized color profiles—digital data embedded in files—that describe how colors should be interpreted on various devices. This helps maintain color accuracy and consistency throughout the entire digital imaging process.
