ABSTRACT:
A computer is provided with sets of switchable resources and utilities that enable the user to select from among a number of color paradigms within which to work. These resources include different operating system support services, such as different color pickers that are respectively directed to the different paradigms. The utilities include some whose operations are integrated with application programs, and others which function on a stand-alone basis. A color personality agent requests the computer user to select a particular color paradigm with which to work. In response to the user's selection, the agent selects the appropriate resources and utilities for that paradigm, to provide full color management that is consistent with the user's designated preferences. All subsequent color-related operations are carried out in accordance with the selected paradigm, in a manner that is transparent to the user and application programs running on the computer.
