{{main|Color management}}

Human [[Color vision|color perception]] is a very complex and subtle process, and different devices have widely different color [[gamut]]s or ranges of color they can display. To deal with these issues, ColorSync provides several different methods of doing color matching. For instance, ''perceptual'' matching tries to preserve as closely as possible the relative relationships between colors, even if all the colors must be systematically distorted in order to get them to fit within the gamut of the destination device. Because the human eye is more sensitive to [[color difference]]s rather than [[Absolute color space|absolute color]]s, this method tends to produce the best-looking results, subjectively speaking, for many common uses, but there are other methods that work better in some cases.
