How do you ensure your colors stay consistent across devices?

[DVRKSUN]

I was working on a portrait today and when I sent it to my android device (to test if the color look consistent) that photo turned out to lack red tint. I want my work to be well represented but I believe people on other computers and smart phones may see something different than I see on my screen. Any tips on how to ensure color consistency?

Take a look here, Monitor Calibration is probably the one of the most important things to consider

Thanks, Gedstar, for the very useful links. I should point out that there is another extremely common reason why images look different on different devices. In fact, sometimes, the same image will look different on different image viewing software running on the same device. This is the issue of color space. I gave a more complete answer in the other thread that you started, but again, the recommendation is very simple: When you are just getting your feet wet in this, send everything out as an sRGB file, not in Adobe RGB, not in ProFoto, CMYK, or any other profile. Make sure you know how PS handles this. If you are unsure, use "Save for Web" in PS, and be sure to click the "Convert to sRGB" box. Be sure you know the difference between "converting" between two color spaces, and "assigning" a color space.

Have a well-calibrated monitor and know the basics of color spaces, and your problems will essentially disappear.

HTH,
