What is a CAMP file?

CAMP files mostly belong to Windows Color System by Microsoft. CAMP is the file format for a Windows Color System (WCS) color appearance model (CAM) profile file. Windows Color System (WCS) is a platform for color management in Windows operating systems that works to to achieve color consistency across various software and hardware, such as cameras, monitors, printers and scanners. It uses the CIECAM02 color appearance model. A color appearance model is a mathematical model that describes how humans perceive color vision. It uses a chromatic adaptation transform (CAT) known as CIECAT02 along with equations for calculating mathematical correlates for brightness (luminance), lightness, hue, saturation, colorfulness, and chroma. These are the six technically defined aspects of color appearance. A CAMP file contains base parametric values for the CIECAM02 color properties of these six dimensions of color appearance. The CAMP file specifies color viewing conditions. It defines how the color representation actually translates to a visible color. The file is in the XML format.
