SMS MAX Color Library

Extended-gamut colors for specific design and display use cases.

The SMS MAX Color Library extends beyond the standard SMS color space to support applications that require higher saturation or wider gamut.

It is intended for specific use cases where visual impact is prioritized over universal CMYK reproducibility.

SMS MAX library overview

What makes SMS MAX different

SMS MAX colors:

  • Occupy a larger color space
  • May exceed standard CMYK reproduction limits
  • Are still defined using measured data

This library is not intended for all production workflows and must be used with awareness of output constraints.

Limitations and Considerations

Not all SMS MAX colors:

  • Can be reproduced accurately in CMYK
  • Are suitable for standardized print environments

Designers and production teams must evaluate output conditions before selecting colors from this library.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Digital and screen-based design
  • Display systems
  • Concept design and visualization
  • Controlled environments with known output devices

Available formats

  • sRGB and extended RGB spaces
  • LAB for communication
  • CMYK where technically achievable
  • ICC profiles for managed conversion
