1. A method for assessing color characterization quality of a display device comprising the steps of: determining at least one of a forward and inverse transform from a first set of device dependent input color values and measured output display values of the first set of device dependent input color values on the display; transforming a second set of device dependent input color values using said determined at least one of a forward and inverse transform to provide an intermediate set of device dependent input color values; and performing at least one of a forward transform quality evaluation and an inverse transform quality evaluation using at least said second set of device dependent input color values.
