A method includes receiving an input file comprising input color values in a first color space. The at least one input color value includes an over-range color value in the first color space. The method also includes encoding the input color values including encoding each over-range color value as an in-range color value in the first color space to generate encoded input color values. The method further includes creating an output file that includes the encoded color values and an indicator. The indicator indicates that the output file includes encoded color values.

1. A method comprising: receiving an input file including input color values in a first color space, wherein at least one input color value corresponds to an over-range value in a second color space and the input color values are included within a range of color values;dividing the range of color values into a plurality of sub-ranges;encoding each of the input color values based on a level of accuracy assigned to a sub-range that the input color falls within, wherein each over-range color value is encoded as an in-range color value in the second color space and encoding each of the input color values generates encoded color values; andgenerating an output file including the encoded color values and an indicator, wherein the indicator indicates that the output file includes the encoded color values including over-range color values encoded as in-range color values. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising decoding the color values in the output file based on the indicator. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first color space comprises an scRGB color space. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the input file comprises an Extensible Markup Language Paper Specification (XPS) file. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one input color value is less than zero or greater than one. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein encoding the input color values includes: clipping the input color values to fit within a pre-determined range;subtracting the minimum value of the predetermined range from the maximum value of the predetermined range to obtain a first difference;determining an encoded value for each input color value by subtracting the minimum value from the input color value to obtain a second difference and dividing the second difference by the first difference. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the pre-determined range is based on the range of color values in the input file. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the pre-determined range ranges from −4 to +3.9998779296875. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining a range of interest for the input color values, wherein the range of interest defines the range of color values. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the output file is one of the set containing: a portable document format (PDF) file, a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) file, or a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the in-range ranges from 0 to 1. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the indicator is included in an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the ICC profile includes decoding information. 14. A computer program product, encoded on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising: receiving an input file including input color values, wherein at least one input color value has a corresponding value in an output color space that is outside of a range of values supported by an output file format and the input color values are included within a range of color values;dividing the range of color values in to a plurality of sub-ranges;encoding each of the input color values based on a level of accuracy assigned to a sub-range that the input color falls within, wherein each input color value is encoded as a value supported by the output file format to provide each encoded color value; andgenerating an output file having the output file format, wherein the output file includes the encoded color values and includes an indicator that the output file includes encoded color values representing input color values having corresponding values in the output color space that are outside of a range of values supported by the output file format, wherein the indicator is included in an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile. 15. The product of claim 14, wherein the at least one input color value comprises an over-range color value. 16. The product of claim 14, wherein encoding the input color values comprises: clipping the input color values to fit within a range of interest;subtracting the minimum value of the range of interest from the maximum value of the range of interest to obtain a first difference;determining an encoded value for each input color value by subtracting the minimum value from the input color value to obtain a second difference and multiplying the second difference by the reciprocal of the first difference. 17. A system comprising: a memory operable to store a first electronic document comprising input color component values corresponding to a first color space including a set of in-range values in the first color space that correspond to a set of over-range values in a second color space; anda processor communicatively coupled to the memory operable to: divide the set of in-range color values into a plurality of sub-ranges;encode each of the input color component values including the set of in-range values in the first color space that correspond to a set of over-range values in the second color space based on a level of accuracy assigned to a sub-range that the input color component value falls within, wherein each encoded color value is encoded as an in-range value in the second color space; andgenerate a second electronic document comprising the encoded color component values and a color profile, wherein the color profile provides information for decoding the encoded color component values and includes an indicator that the encoded color values include values corresponding to over-range values in the second color space. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the color profile is an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile that can be used to convert the encoded color component values to a device-independent color space. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein the first electronic document comprises an XPS document and the second electronic document comprises a PDF document. 20. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is further operable to: clip the input color component values that are greater than a pre-determined upper threshold;clip the input color component values that are less than a pre-determined lower threshold; andencode each input color component value by dividing a difference of the input color component value minus the pre-determined lower threshold by a difference of the pre-determined upper threshold minus the pre-determined lower threshold. 21. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is further operable to: encode an input color component value of a first component, wherein encoding includes clipping the value using a first range of interest; andencode an input color component value of a second component, wherein encoding includes clipping the value using a second range of interest. 22. The system of claim 17, wherein the processor is further operable to: determine a range of interest of color component values; anddivide the range of interest into a plurality of sub-ranges. 23. The system of claim 17, wherein each encoded input color value corresponds to a second color space different from the first color space. 24. The system of claim 17, wherein the second electronic document is formatted to a predetermined format, wherein the predetermined format limits color component values to a predetermined minimum value and a predetermined maximum value that correspond to the minimum and maximum values of the in-range values.
