A color profile is a set of data that describes the color characteristics of a particular device, such as a monitor, printer, or scanner. It is used to ensure that colors are displayed and reproduced accurately across different devices.
There are many different color profiles available, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, there are profiles for sRGB, Adobe RGB, and CMYK. sRGB is the most common color profile used on the internet and is suitable for most general purposes. Adobe RGB has a wider color gamut than sRGB and is often used by professional photographers and designers. CMYK is used in printing and has a different color gamut than RGB color profiles.
