Research on Yellow Reproduction of Antique Books Based on Small Color Gamut

摘要

In order to accurately reproduce the yellow color of old books on monitor, in this paper we collected the color value of old books and prepared a color card whose color gamut is narrow but can include the color of old books. Then we made a display ICC profile according to the traditional color management steps, and measured the color value of old books displayed on the monitor which was embedded the narrow gamut ICC profile. Statistics indicate that the color value of old books displayed on the monitor embedded the narrow gamut ICC profile is closer to the color value of real old books. Compared with the traditional color management that the color value of old books is displayed on the monitor embedded the common ICC profile, it shows that our color management process based on small color gamut can achieve a perfect effect to the yellow reproduction of the old books on monitor.
