Yes, you're right. But as this is an application icon and I don't
know what displays/monitors the users have. I'd like to choose the
most "universal" profile and i don't think that the either
designer's LCD or my iBook's display are good choices for that.
The generalized question therefore is: What is an average Mac
display/monitor color profile? Is it closer to sRGB or to iBook's
LCD for example?
Adam,
The typical Mac display uses Gamma 1.8 while sRGB is somewhat
similar to a Gamma of 2.2.
At
/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Generic RGB Profile.icc
you will find the default Mac OS X display profile.
Hope that helps,
Thank you Karsten! I've completely forgotten about gamma correction.
This profile really seems like a good choice as it is even reasonably
close to the Color LCD profile I have on the iBook (compared to sRGB).
