Color. Additionally, your monitor color temperature influences how
"warm" or "cool" the colors look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
• 5000k or D50 Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in
graphics arts environments.
• 6500k or D65 Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
• 9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television
sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature)
How your software application displays color
Some graphics applications such as Macromedia Freehand or
Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s
online help or user manual for more information.
Paper type
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.
NOTE
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the
monitor’s control panel.
