Color reproduction is an aspect ofcolor science concerned with producing light spectra that evoke a desiredcolor, either throughadditive (light emitting) orsubtractive (surface color) models. It converts physical correlates of color perception (CIE 1931 XYZ color space tristimulus values and related quantities) into light spectra that can be experienced by observers. In this way, it is the opposite ofcolorimetry.

It is concerned with the faithful reproduction of a color in one medium, with a color in another, so it is a central concept incolor management and relies heavily oncolor calibration. For example, food packaging must be able to faithfully reproduce the colors of the foods therein in order to appeal to a customer.^[1] This involves proper color calibration of at least four devices:

• Lighting, which must have a highcolor rendering index and not give acolor cast to the object.
• Camera, whichmeasures the reflected spectrum of the object and converts to a trichromatic color space (e.g.RGB).
• Screen, which reproduces color so a designer can proof the captured image and make color corrections as necessary.
• Printer, which reproduces the final color on paper.
