Abstract

In a method, program, or device to generate or process a document data stream that comprises data relating to color management resources wherein processing of color-related data of the document data stream can be controlled, associating at least one indexed color management resource with the document data stream wherein with the management resource color-related data of the document data stream can be associated with multiple predetermined color palettes. Within a color palette, an index value is respectively associated with multiple color. Respective values regarding the index colors are stored in the color management resource. The values are associated with corresponding proportions of color tones to reproduce the respective indexed color. The color palettes are compared between the system that generates the document data and an output system that outputs the document data, the document data stream is structured.
