This string is used to discribe a property of an ICC color profile, especially
the "Device Class" of the profile.

A grep locate the string here :

void ICCPreviewWidget::getICCData( const KURL &url)
...
    switch ((int)cmsGetDeviceClass(tmpProfile))
    {
        case icSigInputClass:
            device = i18n("Input device");
            break;
        case icSigDisplayClass:
            device = i18n("Display device");
            break;
        case icSigOutputClass:
            device = i18n("Output device");
            break;
        case icSigColorSpaceClass:
            device = i18n("Color space");
            break;
        case icSigLinkClass:
            device = i18n("Link device");
            break;
        case icSigAbstractClass:
            device = i18n("Abstract");
            break;
        case icSigNamedColorClass:
            device = i18n("Named color");
            break;
        default:
            device = i18n("Unknown");
            break;
    }
...

this icc profile tag is describe into this specification, page 54 :

http://www.color.org/ICC1V42.pdf

But it can be confuse for you (and me (:=)))...

So google is always your friend :

"A named color space profile contains data for a list of named colors. The
profile specifies a device color value and the corresponding CIE value for
each color in the list."

Hi Oliver,

I think you can translate "named color" into "Farbpalette" or leave it
untranslated as terminus technicus

Zitat:
"Ein Named Color Profile enthält nach ICC-Standard eine Zuordnung von Lab- und
Gerätefarben für selbst benannte Farben. Ein exportiertes Named Color Profile
enthält die Lab-Farben sowie die über das ICC-Profil berechneten Gerätefarben
Ihrer selbst erstellten Farbpalette."

Ok, i will use Farbpalette as german translation.

Thanks for your help
