Serendipity ICCtool has been updated to version 1.1. The most significant change to this version is the ability to use spectrophotometers to read colours and then have them converted to either RGB or CMYK. Colours may also be entered manually as either RGB, CMYK or Lab.
Using ICCtool you can visualise how different device dependent colours will look on different monitors and papers. Version 1.1 can be downloaded from ICCtool product page while icc profiles to suit can be downloaded from the Serendipity ICC profiles page.

The word “serendipity” was coined in 1754 by the politician and writer Horace Walpole, who used it in a letter in which he recounted an accidental but fortunate discovery about an acquaintance:
This discovery indeed is almost of that kind which I call serendipity, a very expressive word which, as I have nothing better to tell you, I shall endeavour to explain to you: you will understand it better by the derivation than by the definition. I once read a silly fairy tale, called “The Three Princes of Serendip”: as their highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of.
