### Color Management

Before moving forward, we need to ensure that our scene is properly set up. You can enable ACES settings within the Render Settings of your scene. If RenderMan is correctly installed, it should automatically fetch the OCIO config file from the RenderMan installation directory, also referred to as RMANTREE in environment variable terms.

Additionally, make sure that the IT viewer is also displaying in ACES by checking its Preferences window. This will ensure color accuracy throughout your workflow. Out of all the OCIO color profiles, the right color profile for most CG work will be acesCG.
