Everything about The International Color Consortium totally explained

The International Color Consortium was formed in 1993 by eight industry vendors in order to create a universal color management system that would function transparently across all operating systems and software packages. The ICC specification, currently on version 4, allows for matching of color when moved between applications and operating systems, from the point of creation to the final print.
   The main emphasis of the ICC is to define a format for ICC profiles, which describe the color attributes of a particular device or viewing requirement by defining a mapping between the source or target color space and a profile connection space (PCS).
   The ICC defines the format precisely but doesn't define algorithms or processing details. This means there's room for variation between different applications and systems that work with ICC profiles.

ICC membership

The eight founding members of the ICC were Adobe, Agfa, Apple, Kodak, Microsoft, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and Taligent.
   Since then several of the founding members have left, including Microsoft and Sun, and many other firms have become ICC members, incuding, as of January 2008, Canon, Fujitsu, Hewlett–Packard, and Lexmark.(External Link)Further Information
