The International Color Consortium was
formed in 1993 by eight vendors in order to create an open, vendor-neutral
color management system which would function transparently across all operating
systems and software packages.
The ICC specification, currently on version
4.3, allows for matching of color when moved between applications and operating
systems, from the point of creation to the final output, whether display or
print. This specification is technically identical to ISO 15076-1:2010,
available from ISO.
The ICC profile which describe the color
attributes of a particular device or viewing requirement by defining a mapping
between the source or target color space and a profile connection space (PCS).
The ICC defines the format precisely but
does not define algorithms or processing details. This means there is room for
variation between different applications and systems that work with ICC
profiles.
ICC has also published a preliminary
specification for iccMAX, a next-generation color management architecture with
significantly expanded functionality and a choice of colorimetric, spectral or
material connection space.

Membership
The eight founding members of the ICC were
Adobe, Agfa, Apple, Kodak, Microsoft, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and
Taligent.
Since then Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics,
and Taligent have left the organization, and many other firms have become ICC
members, including, as of January 2011, Canon, Fuji, Fujitsu, Heidelberg
Printing Machines AG, Hewlett–Packard, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Lexmark, NEC,
Nikon, Nokia, OKI Data, Sun Chemical, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, and X-Rite.
At the beginning of 2014, ICC membership
has grown to a total of 61 members, including their founding, regular, and
honorary members. Aside from members of the photography, printing, and painting
industry, new members from several different industries include MathWorks,
Nokia, Sony Corporation.
