wlroots delegates setting the gamma table to a privileged client, to allow
users to set it to whatever they want. Use-cases include setting the color
temperature and setting the brightness. wlroots doesn't support ICC profiles
(and I don't know of a client setting the gamma LUT from an ICC profile).

That's correct.

Weston is working on improving color management support [1] [2]. I think it's
still a little early, but maybe see with Pekka if something can be worked out?

Other than that, maybe some media players have support for some color
management and would need to blend in multiple buffers and standardize
protocols. Maybe look into Kodi or mpv?
