Farbsystem
Farbsystem refers to a formal framework for encoding, reproducing, and communicating colors. It comprises color models (spaces), and the management methods that map colors between devices and media to preserve color accuracy.
Color models can be additive or subtractive. Additive models, such as RGB, describe colors as mixtures of
A color space is a specific implementation of a model with defined numeric coordinates. Some spaces are
Color management uses profiles, notably ICC profiles, and a color management system (CMS) to translate colors
Historically, color science matured with the CIE standard observer and spaces such as XYZ and LAB. In
Limitations include finite device gamuts, rendering differences, and metamerism, where colors match under one light source
