Create a Java color model for this colorspace.

 protected ColorSpace createColorSpace() 
{
        return ColorSpace.getInstance( ColorSpace.CS_sRGB );
}

Create a Java colorspace for this colorspace.

 public String getName() 
{
        return NAME;
}

This will return the name of the color space.

 public int getNumberOfComponents() throws IOException 
{
        return 3;
}

This will get the number of components that this color space is made up of.
