[Openicc] PPD colouring

[Ann L McCarthy]

Hi All,

I would like to work on this in relation to the new metadata tag that is 
defined for inclusion in ICC profiles. 

If the enumerated list of PPD color key words and their values can be 
provided from this work to the ICC metadata project (I can help as needed) 
-- then the key words and values that relate to profile selection can be 
entered as metadata names and associated values in the ICC metadata 
repository. The goal in this would be to encourage ICC profile 
builders/editors to include those keywords and the appropriate selected 
values in their profile metadata tags -- so the profiles can be matched 
and validated for selection by the PPD.

Best regards,
Ann McCarthy

Sorry for the typo.
