The same RGB coordinates entered in Apple RGB (Mac default, on the LEFT side) and sRGB (Windows default, on the RIGHT side). The large, lighter colored, color patch shows what the color looks like on Macintosh display (even if this is a Windows XP screen; i.e. the color is properly translated from Apple RGB to sRGB for display purposes). You can see on the chromaticity diagram that the same RGB coordinates correspond to two different colors (i.e. they have different "xy" coordinates). In essence, the darker sRGB color patch shows how a color generated on a Mac will look on a Windows PC if it is not properly translated to the sRGB environment. The CIE94 color difference is 5,51, a very noticeable difference. The difference is mostly intensity (DeltaL* = -5,25), followed by chroma (i.e. saturation; DeltaC* = 3,91), and some hue difference (DeltaH* = 2,21). |
