| 1. A color management system comprising:
a light source for generating a source beam of polarized or unpolarized light;
a secondary color selector for selectively separating a first or a second secondary color beam from the polarized or unpolarized
source beam of light, the first secondary color beam comprising first and second primary colored beams, and the second secondary
colored beam comprising first and third primary colored beams;
a primary color separator for separating the first secondary colored beam into the first and second primary colored beams,
and the second secondary colored beam into the first and third primary colored beams;
a first imager panel for imaging the first or the second primary colored beam;
a second imager panel for imaging the second or the third primary colored beam; and
a beam combiner for combining the first primary colored beam from the first imager panel with the second or the third primary
colored beam from the second imager panel, or for combining the second colored beam from the first imager panel with the third
colored beam from the second imager panel to form a projection beam.
