WinColorKit: Windows Color Quality Test Kit for Device OEMs
The Windows Color Quality Test Kit (WinColorKit) provides reference files, tools, and instructions for quantitatively measuring the ability of color-capable devices to render sRGB color within certain color difference tolerances. This is accomplished by using either an implicit sRGB color space profile or the ICM profile supplied with the operating system. This web site also includes images that manufacturers can use to visually evaluate color quality for their devices.
