A. Microsoft has made a Color Control Panel applet available for Windows XP, but it's a separate download. Once it's installed, you'll have the same abilities as the applet in the later Windows OSs, including
Install and uninstall ICC color profiles
Inspect, rename, and compare two different color profiles
View a 3D graphics plot of color profile color gamuts
Associate color profiles with devices such as printers, monitors, and scanners
Apply custom color gamut adjustments to one or more displays on the fly
Set up display calibration reminders at intervals you specify
I really don't know what much of that means, but I'm sure that if you're really into color, it's very exciting .
