CHAPTER 3
Color Spaces for Digital
The Four Color Spaces for Digital
There are four color spaces that we will discuss: sRGB, Adobe98, ColorMatch and ProPhoto. First, think about color spaces as boxes of Crayola crayons. sRGB is the smallest box of crayons. It has 256 tones. The large box that many people choose can be thought of as Adobe98. It is like the big box of crayons with many shades of the same color. The ColorMatch space can be thought of as a much bigger box than sRGB but not as big as Adobe98. Finally, there is the ProPhoto color space, which is so big that not all the colors can even fit in the box.
