I'm trying to use the Gnome Color (default Color app in /usr/bin/gnome-control-center.real color) to manage my laptop's color profile. However, only some of the color profile actually change the display colors! For instance, PJD7820HD, E551i-A2, EQ276W HDMI, Projector, DVX-3150, D65 and Swapped Red and Green (!) all display the same colors. Whereas Blue, D50, and D55 are the only profiles that.
Problems Can I get notified when my color profile is inaccurate? You can be notified if your color profile is old and inaccurate. How do I test if color management is working correctly? Use the supplied test profiles to check that your profiles are being applied correctly to your screen. Missing information for whole-screen color correction? If you mean that the overall color calibration of your display is off with gnome, then the ICC profile reported by your monitor might be incorrect.
Color is managed by colord in gnome. However, kde should be doing this as well so the problem should be mutual. You can view and change the profile in Settings > Color.
I'm not concerned about perfectly accurate colors, but this green tint is just unbearable. Under Gnome 42 (tested with Ubuntu 22.04 live version) and KDE Plasma 6, I can apply the ICC profile from Windows and have a great picture. How can I get this to work under Gnome 45+? I'm about to buy a color calibration device.
Up until recently Night Light didn't work for me at all. So I used Redshift instead. Which worked.
However, it does not work under Wayland (like pretty much all software of this kind). There, though, I discovered a manual workaround to force my monitor to update to the Night Light configs by switching the monitors' toggle in the Color Profiles settings off and back: Even on session startup. The effects of a color profile are sometimes subtle and it may be hard to see if anything much has changed.
In GNOME we ship several profiles for testing that make it very clear when the profiles are being applied. Use dispcalgui to create the profile. Then just point the gnome color profile setting to the icc file.
you can also set it on the command line if you use something like kde that doesn't seem to natively support icc profiles. Everything is working fine except gnome won't import my.ICC profile for the built in display. Under the color settings menu it says "each device needs an up to date color profile to be managed" then under that it says "unable to detect any devices that can be color managed".
Screenshot of GNOME Settings on GNOME 40 on Fedora 34, in Wayland, specifically in the color tab, where it shows multiple devices, a button to add existing profiles, a calibration button, etc.: You may have a UI, but does it actually do anything? I want to change the colors in gnome-terminal, so I edited profile preferences and changed the color palette. But the colors are not changing. I have.
