Re: RGB with no profile for the web?

Lee,

Thanks for tips! I will implement this code from now on.
Still, how do the PC users who have a color profiled monitor see it? Do they emulate sRGB by default?



Paul Schilliger


There's the problem with PC browsers. They are not emulating anything, the RGB values in the file are passed directly to the screen. They'll ignore the tag, because they don't recognise it.
The standard Calibration that we use (6500K, Gamma 2.2) is the same as the white point and gamma table inside sRGB, So It'll still work on a calibrated monitor, if they use that target. Obviously is they use a different target, then the colours will look different, but there isn't anything you can do about it, apart from using the tag.

Hi,

The reason you're getting a colour shift on your monitor, is that your monitor is not set up to emulate sRGB. So an image set up for sRGB will not look right on a your monitor. However, as sRGB is meant to describe an average monitor, it is still better to use sRGB for web images, and not embed a profile.
To cater for Mac users who have colour management on (All Safari Users, IE with colorsync checked) you can use the following code


<body iccprofile="sRGB.icc">

and load sRGB.icc onto your webserver.
