Historically, color management was not an initial design consideration of the X Window System on which much of Linux graphics support rests, and thus color-managed workflows have been somewhat more challenging to implement on Linux than on other OS's such as Microsoft Windows or macOS. Gamut conversions, based on accurate device profiles, are the essence of color management. ![]() These applications perform gamut conversions between device profiles and color spaces. Linux color management relies on the use of accurate ICC ( International Color Consortium) and DCP (DNG Color Profile) profiles describing the behavior of input and output devices, and color-managed applications that are aware of these profiles. In particular, color management attempts to enable color consistency across media and throughout a color-managed workflow. Linux color management has the same goal as the color management systems (CMS) for other operating systems, which is to achieve the best possible color reproduction throughout an imaging workflow from its source (camera, video, scanner, etc.), through imaging software ( Digikam, darktable, RawTherapee, GIMP, Krita, Scribus, etc.), and finally onto an output medium ( monitor, video projector, printer, etc.).
