Color Management for Creators - ICC Profiles
There is plenty of occasion to publish images on the web, including corporate websites, e-commerce websites, blogs, and social media sites. Are the images of products, merchandise, designs, etc. that you publish presented to readers in the colors you intended?
In this article, we will cover several important points on what to check before publishing images on the web, based on results verified by EIZO.

As we covered in another article, Color Management for Creators – Web Browser Edition, it is important to embed color profiles in image data to ensure that colors are displayed as the creator intended. Creators must also keep differences between color profile versions in mind, so that colors are displayed properly, regardless of the web browser used. In this article, we will introduce the two different versions of ICC profiles (version 2 and version 4) and discuss ICC profile compatibility with different web browsers. |

Summary
What are ICC Profiles?
ICC profiles are files that describe color characteristics on a per-device basis, in a format established by the International Color Consortium (ICC), an international standards organization. ICC profiles include both color profiles and monitor profiles. Color profiles define color characteristics for devices and image data. Monitor profiles are data files that communicate what colors the monitor displays to the system. By using these ICC files, it is possible to correctly display colors through a standardized color space, regardless of an individual devices’ color characteristics. |
ICC Profile Versions
There are two versions of ICC profiles.
- Version 2: offers high compatibility and has been around for longer
- Version 4: a backward-compatible revised version with clearer definitions, which enable greater display precision
Versions Used by Common Color Profiles
| Color Profile | Adobe RGB (1998) | sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 | Display P3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICC Profile Version | 2 (2.1.0) | 2 (2.1.0) | 4 (4.0.0) |
As you can see from the table above, sRGB and Adobe RGB use v2, while Display P3 uses v4 — each color profile relies on a specific version. Web creators should keep in mind that ICC profile version compatibility may vary by web browser. For instance, if a web browser that only supports v2 tries to display image data that has an embedded v4 color profile, the colors may not display as the creator intended.
The table below shows ICC profile version compatibility by web browser. Web creators should consider that colors may be displayed in both v2 and v4 environments; we recommend embedding the sRGB profile into image data, because sRGB is built on the v2 ICC profile, which all web browsers support.
ICC Profile Version Compatibility by Web Browser
