    The color-management Wayland extension is enough for entertainment purposes like games and movies. However, it is not enough for professional color management needs including photo editing and print preview.

        More serious and real question, does X11 support actually measuring and calibrating colour? I know you can apply ICC profiles but I was under the impression that the actual calibration tools were usually used under macOS or Windows with profiles exported to Linux.

          To the same level that Wayland does - it doesn’t actively do anything for or against it. There are tools that happen to be built for X11, and which you can also use on Wayland (with a very small amount of additional manual steps vs. how it works on X11)

        The frog color management protocol is based on the upstream protocol. They used an experimental version to bring the feature to Steam Deck faster.

        Though Frog did do a good job with pushing FIFO forward.
