Abstract: Example color resources are generated. A first luminosity amount of a greyscale color in a greyscale color space is determined. The greyscale color corresponds with a transformation of a source color in a first color space converted to the greyscale color. The source color corresponding with a depletion color in a second color space, and the depletion color has a second luminosity amount. A target color in a color resource is generated via adjusting a black channel amount in the depletion color to match the second luminosity amount with the first luminosity amount. The target color to correspond with the source color in the color resource.
