When printing (on photo paper) a design with a colour that I took from a photo (using the Gimp colour picker), this colour does not come out right. It is a quite different shade, both lighter and somewhat different quality (more reddish/brown). The design is created using Latex and then PDF, i.e. colour defined in Latex using the RGB values from Gimp.
I understand there are computer monitor colour profiles and printer colour profiles that may be involved, as well as various technical problems. Am wondering if there is any simple way to get the same colour on the paper as in the photo (on the screen). Without having to know more details than I have stated here.
Clarification: "same" as in at least from a distance, squinting.
