Color management
Although all color gamuts overlap, they don't match exactly, which is why some colors on your monitor can't be reproduced in print. The colors that can't be reproduced in print are called out-of-gamut colors because they are outside the spectrum of printable colors.
To compensate for these differences and to ensure the closest match between on-screen colors and printed colors, Adobe Illustrator includes a color management system (CMS) that lets you select profiles for your monitor and for the output device to which you'll print. Selecting a color profile controls the conversion of RGB values to CMYK values at print time. To select a color profile, you use the Color Settings command.
