gnome - cant open settings

i have been running on cinnamon for several years.  i am interested in testing wayland and so went to muck around in gnome.
i can log into gnome de just fine, but when i try to open settings, display settings, change background... nothing happens..

checking the journal, i see this every time i try to launch the settings:

Feb 06 11:21:00 carbon gnome-display-panel.desktop[5463]: gnome-control-center: error while loading shared libraries: libcolord.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

my system is completly up to date.
i have tried installing gnome-control-center
i have tried installing colord-gtk

any ideas or help is appreciated.. thanks.
