22-1 Working with color Chapter 2: Working with Color in Applications This chapter provides guidelines for defining colors in your documents to produce the results you want. The following topics are covered: • Factors affecting how you work with color • Choosing colors in applications that rely on Graphic Device Interface (GDI) or QuickDraw to communicate data to the printer driver, such as presentation and word processing applications • Choosing colors in applications that have the ability to write their own PostScript, such as some page layout, illustration, and pixel-editing applications Working with color The two main factors that influence how you work with color in the creation of documents are the applications you use and the Color Server. Applications vary in the methods they provide for choosing colors and in the way they transmit color data to the Color Server. • Office applications, such as presentation software, spreadsheets, and word processing programs, use the RGB color model. They typically transmit only RGB data to the Color Server. • Illustration applications use both the RGB and CMYK color models but typically transmit only CMYK data to the Color Server. • Pixel-editing applications use both the RGB and CMYK color models. They also transmit both RGB and CMYK data to the Color Server.
