Most other color management systems are based on the ["CIE color space"], but the PANTONE Open Color Environment (abbreviated POCE) utilizes an original color model called Appearance Equivalency (AeQ). POCE allows color matching from device to device for both ["spot color"] and for ["process color"], as well as for ["continuous tone"] color images. Like other color management systems, it utilizes device profiles, which can be user-modified, but unlike other systems it operates at the ["operating system"] level, and even supports cross-platform color matching among ["Macintosh"], ["Windows"], and ["UNIX"] platforms.
