How your software application displays color

Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s
online help or user manual for more information.

Several of the Color Matching options make reference
to your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern
monitors allow the color temperature to be adjusted
