That would be the obvious choice. However, there are things (mostly on the 
projection end) that could help assure the correct neutrality and densities in 
your images. Start by tagging them sRGB when you save them. Next, try to get 
those displaying them to use a color managed application like Photoshop as their 
display application. And finally, for best results have the 
projector/computer combination calibrated and profiled for projection with Spyder2 PRO v2 or 
above. You many not have control of all these factors, but you can at least 
recommend them for best results, and have them as an excuse if the results are not 
ideal without them.
