BUG: The translated color value may be inaccurate when you translate a color by using the Image Color Management (ICM) API and the default ICM color management module

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You create a color transform by using the CreateColorTransform function or the CreateMultiProfileTransform function in the Microsoft Image Color Management (ICM) API. You translate a color from the source color space to the destination color space by using the TranslateColors function, the color transform that you created, and the default ICM color management module. In this scenario, the translated color value may be inaccurate by 0.5 percent to 1 percent.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of a bug in the ICM color management module.

WORKAROUND

There is no workaround or resolution for this problem.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
