Perhaps I don't understand something.

I thought in X11 there was long ago CMS color management, ICC profiles, etc.
via either colord or via ArgyllCMS. I used ArgyllCMS to calibrate monitor,
then it can load the corresponding LUT (or gamma) in X11, or a raw photo
processing program can use these ICC profiles.

Has Wayland developed something totally different?
