The values of the COLORTYPE enumeration are used by several ICM functions. Variables of type COLOR are defined in the color spaces enumerated by the COLORTYPE enumeration. The enumeration defines the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| COLOR_GRAY | The COLOR is in the GRAYCOLOR color space. |
| COLOR_RGB | The COLOR is in the RGBCOLOR color space. |
| COLOR_CMYK | The COLOR is in the CMYKCOLOR color space |
| COLOR_XYZ | The COLOR is in the XYZCOLOR color space. |
| COLOR_Yxy | The COLOR is in the YxyCOLOR color space. |
| COLOR_Lab | The COLOR is in the LabCOLOR color space. |
| COLOR_3_CHANNEL | The COLOR is in the GENERIC3CHANNEL color space. |
| COLOR_5_CHANNEL | The COLOR is in a five channel color space |
| COLOR_6_CHANNEL | The COLOR is in a six channel color space. |
| COLOR_7_CHANNEL | The COLOR is in a seven channel color space. |
| COLOR_8_CHANNEL | The COLOR is in an eight channel color space. |
| COLOR_NAMED | The COLOR is in a named color space. |
Note In addition to managing the common two, three, and four channel color spaces, ICM 2.0 is able to do color management with device profiles that contain five through eight color channels. It is also able to use named color spaces. When five, six, seven, or eight color channels are used, the provider of the device profile is free to determine what the color channels represent. The same is true of named color spaces. ICM 2.0 is able to manage these color spaces as long as there is a mapping in the device profile that maps the channels or the name space into the PCS. The device profile must also contain a mapping from the PCS into the five, size, seven, or eight channel space, or into the named color space.
