The color is actually the same, but the rendering is different. new Color(0,0,255) is still the same color everywhere, it is not converted.
What does change is the color profile used in rendering the color to the device, ie Screen, Printer. Acrobat often tries to simulate a CMYK printer in it's screen rendering. You can turn this off in the preferences and see the exact same color on the screen As you see in Java. When you print however, you will get a different color as RGB does not map accurately To CMYK. -Bill Ensley www.bearprinting.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Olivier Lefevre > Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 3:16 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Colors in PdfGraphics2D > > Paulo Soares wrote: > > This is all about colorspaces and color management.
