Although you do not have to be a color scientist to write applications with the KCMS API, a certain amount of color literacy is helpful. Table P-1 lists two white papers that contain some basic information on color and KCMS. The files are located on-line in the /usr/openwin/demo/kcms/docs/ directory.

The KCMS framework this guide describes uses the International Color Consortium (ICC) format as the default format for color manipulation. For details on ICC, you should read the International Color Consortium Profile Format Specification. The ICC profile format specification is located by default in the icc.ps file in the /opt/SUNWsdk/kcms/doc directory. This is the specification to which this version of KCMS conforms. For the most current version of the ICC specification, see the web site at http://www.color.org.
