According to the ICC Specification, PCS stands for "Profile Connection
Space" and is defined in that document as:
"The profile connection space is defined as the CIE colorimetry which will
produce the desired color appearance if rendered on a reference imaging
media and viewed in a reference environment."
In the present ICC context, that means CIEXYZ or CIELAB, with respect to the
CIE D50 standard illuminant and the CIE 2 degree standard observer..
