1. A color management method for generating color measurements for use in a measurement-based color management system, the method comprising the steps of: accessing a transform-based color profile which contains a color transform for transforming color data from a device-dependent color space to a colorimetric device-independent color space; generating color measurements using the color transform from the color profile; and creating a color appearance-based transform using the generated color measurements, wherein the color appearance-based transform is consistent with a color appearance model used by the measurement-based color management system for transforming color image data to an internal color appearance space.
