Colour management is essential to ensure predictable and repeatable colour reproduction across various output systems. Variations in the input or output devices, such as scanners, cameras, printers, and monitors, make colour management a complex task.

• Colour Consistency: A colour management system must account for the different behaviours of devices and inks, providing a unified approach to colour reproduction from design to final print.

This chapter covers colour management processes, various aspects of colour theory, including its scientific basis, methods of colour measurement and the application of colour management systems, particularly in digital printing.
