SUMMARY

Color Management in Internet Explorer 4.0 (IE4) is supported via the ColorInfo filter.

MORE INFORMATION

The ColorInfo filter takes two parameters:

ColorInfo(ColorSpace=sRGB,Intent=0)

ColorSpace can be "sRGB" or a fully qualified local file name of an ICM color profile.

Intent values can be one of the following:

  • 0 (default) for "Images" - Maintain contrast. Used for photographs and natural images
  • 1 for "Graphics" - Maintain colormetric match. Used for graphic designs and named colors.
  • 2 for "Business" - Maintain saturation. Used for business charts and other situations in which undithered colors are required.
Here is an example HTML file that uses the ColorInfo filter: 
   <html>
   <body>
   <img src=test.gif><br>
   <img style="filter: ColorInfo(ColorSpace=sRGB, Intent=0)"
    src=test.gif><br>
   <img style="filter: ColorInfo(ColorSpace=sRGB, Intent=1)"
    src=test.gif><br>
   <img style="filter: ColorInfo(ColorSpace=sRGB, Intent=2)"
    src=test.gif><br>
   <img style="filter:
    ColorInfo(ColorSpace=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COLOR\other-color-profile.icm,
    Intent=0)" src=test.gif><br>
   </body>
   </html>
NOTE: For sRGB, the "sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" file is required in the \Windows\System\Color folder.
