Re: lab color emitted from quartz pdf context

hello chris & list,

i’m now attempting to integrate claudio’s workaround, & on the D65 note: a 
leading color library supplies lab coordinates w/ the specification

"CIE-L*a*b*, D65, 2∞"
.

i expect this should affect creation of a lab space intended for use in 
creating lab color alternates—any thoughts?

thanks,
edward
