does anyone one have or know the colour profile for GS?
I just want to set up photoshop and after effects so I can work with accurate colours that are close to The GS colour space... So does anybody have a profile for photoshop or know of how GS is set up.

If you open photoshop and have an image open as well as a window displaying a scene live in GS the colour is very different.
Thanks again Kipper
And my proof setup is working cmyk.
Does this help you.
on a 3gs however, they are VERY different.
I too would like to know this, as we spend a lot of time tweaking colours on the graphics to get them looking "right" on the 3gs screen.
It all depends on your setup anyway.
Is your monitor calibrated? Because that is where you start.
I doubt if iPhones are consistent in displaying colors anyway so I colormanage my apps manually. Or should I say by eye.
I do not use colormanagement in photoshop because I do not know the GS profile so there is no use for this.
If anything use at least an Rgb profile.
And calibrate your Screen if possible.
If any GS experts know more about GS colour management please do post!

works fine for me and i just told what i saw in my settings because they were going right.I really never to any graphics for printing and so yes rgb is the way to go.But as long as i am satisfied with the setup i dont really care about nor i have gone deeper in this subject of colors managment though i am using photoshop for years now.I really use photoshop to give final touches to my sketches or my 3d renders.
Then again most of the times not touching the default settings if you don't know what you are doing can be good because it is pretty complicated and I don't want to mess up your workflow.
No offense 3d10, just advice.

Like I say, the retina displays are very close to how I see the images on the mac.
The non retina displays are much duller, and colours can vary quite drastically.
You are right.The non retina screen really shows the colors different.But in retina display comes as close to the on screen monitor display.
You can always do a reversed calibration.
Take a graphic on PSD and save as PNG, then have it in a background in a GS project.
Put it on your iPhone and open it.
Put your iPhone next to your monitor and calibrate it so that the colors match.
I would advice to make an proofimage or download one with gradients, contrasts and primary colors. While not really ment for this job you could use something like this:

(for calibrating you can use the calibrate button in your color tab in your display settings of your mac)

So it is up to you.
I'd go for perfect on Retina and not so perfect on non retina.
Its no surprise Retina shows colors better, that's what you pay for, a better screen.

I am not sure about if this is the right process so if you know how it should be done I would be very grateful.

The other colors however, that cant be achieved by simply changing the RGB integer values (or something like that) can seem different by how they handled. But not the "Web Colors" because it is the most primitive way to get a color.
When you open an image in Photoshop and you have colormanagement is on in photoshop (which is the case because there is no off button photoshop will always change the colors you see on screen (so not the actual document) so it looks the way Photoshop thinks is best.
So keeping that in mind you will always need a profile which matches your iPhone display (which ever you choose) profile best.
Why I explain this?
You mentioned opening a iPhone screen shot in Photoshop and use that as a reference. I don't believe that is possible because of what I explain above.
So adjusting your colors to that will give a wrong outcome.
I don't understand what you mean by adjusting the profile from the GS area of the grab.
Some basics (simplified):
Colormanagements intention is to give the same colors on a variety of devices, print presses, scanners etc.
Why? Because all these devices use a different way to display these colours. Some use RGB (additive), others (print) uses CMYK (subtractive) as colors.
Colormanagement matches colors by using a bunch of numbers in a profile.
So for example:
you make an image using screenA
then you look at this image on screenB
screenB can show reds from 0-200
while screenA shows reds from 0-255
So Reds on screen A are much brighter.
So what colormanagament does is tell screenA use only reds from 0-200
This way the reds are the same on both screens.
Simple huh?
So when you take a screen shot on screenB (max red is 200) and bring that to ScreenA to change a profile by making the color red 255 again you are going the wrong way. You actualy make Reds on screenA brighter while they should be darker.
That is why I use the reversed calibration as mentioned above.
I open a chart on both screens. And have them physically next to each other.
So screenA shows reds in the chart as 0-255
ScreenB shows the reds as 0-200
I now adjust screenA so it matches screen B. So max reds on screenA are 200 as well.
You can do this with the buttons on your screen but then everything on your mac or other display will be darker, so it is better to make a custom profile in Photoshop (not recommended for novice users) or calibrate your screen with use of your settings: use the calibrate button in your color tab in your display settings of your mac. First make sure you have saved the profile you always use (most of the times this is the standard profile for your display) and after calibrating save your new profile under a new name for example calibrated GS. This way you can switch back to your displays normal profile when you use it for other purposes.
Tips:
Mind that this has to be done for every type of iPhone you use. So make a proflie for your Retina and a different one for your other displays.
Another thing is that you should check your profile on a regular basis.
Screens tend to be less bright when aging.
Some screens need to warm up before showing the right colors so turn it on and calibrate an hour or so later.
@cbt: "Only Web Colors" are web safe colors. Which are safe in all browsers. This has nothing to do with calibration. It is just a color pallet with a variety of colors that are consistent on most platforms.
Changing the integer values of these colors making them 'unsafe' again.
I don't thnk these are used very much since most platforms can handle most colors nowadays.

But with iOS I don't worry about it its pretty much a non-issue. Apple displays are so close to ipod/iphone, that its not worth worrying about (in my opinion).
