Abstract: With the number of display technologies, cameras, operating systems and software solutions, one of the only technologies that is compatible across this diversity is the web browser. We propose to show that the technologies now present in web browsers allow an indepent management of the color information on large variety of devices. For this purpose we introduce the basic concepts of color management and then we show how to implement them with WebAssembly and WebGL by introducing the concept of WebCMM. A WebCMM adapted for the color management of HTML elements in 2D, 3D but also for virtual environments. Finally, we present how we can implement this WebCMM for a real case of color workflow implemented in a demonstrator web page.
