That is one way of seeing it.
The way i tend to look at colors in a computer is as following as long as you use sRGB, LAB or possibly even CMYK then it is up to the OS to show that correctly.
In reality every device will have different background light, different settings, different manufacturing process and the list continues there is just no way all the parameters can be accounted for.
If you develop for the web or another multi platform environment you cant expect colors to be spectrally same from device to device. AS such you can not and should not develop applications that has that presumption.
Only in very specific controlled environments can one make the assumption that a color is what it is and not a representation.
So coloring in a computer is easy cause the rules of the "game" is defined.
Show a specific sRGB color and that is what it is. If you have a bad screen that wont show that color that is not my problem.
BTW the "RGB colorspace" is not a specific thing it is an idea, dont ever refer to such a thing if you want to be productive.
- cptskippy 10y agoThat's a very optimistic approach and will eventually bite you in the ass without proper checks. BTW people often generalize terms to simplify concepts for the uninitiated.
