Thank you for your answer Chet, yet my question was about color profiles in general, not regarding palettes. I.e. it is possible to configure Windows to adapt/compensate for some specifics of the hardware (screens/printers) by altering the colors in some way. It is called creating a color profile for the device. The question is: would Java(2D) make any use of this color profile when painting? Or is there a way to retrieve the system color profile in order to use it in my own color management?
