A word on color management

As noted elsewhere, Excel itself does not know about color management, so any color profiles used during graphic export can only be an approximation. (Maybe I’ll add support for screen color profiles later.) If your publisher requests embedded profiles, the Toolbox lets you do it.

Exporting in CMYK colorspace requires the use of color management profiles. Otherwise the conversion from RGB would not work.
