Note also that the color gamut of each device (printer, CRT,
photographic paper print, motion picture print, reversal color slide,
PAL TV, NTSC TV, SECAM TV) does not overlap the others. One of our main

in RGB space.

It would be nice if you can take the lead on color management.
As Debian project leader I am already too far overworked to take on
any more.
