The rendering intent ‘perceptual absolute’ is not known or established as an independent rendering intent in colour processing and colour management.
The term refers to a combination of the rendering intents ‘perceptual’ and ‘absolute colourimetric’, meaning that the aim is to achieve a colour reproduction that is both visually appealing (perceptual) and precise and accurate (absolute colourimetric).
