Issues applying icc profiles in gnome (wayland & x11)

Hello,
I have an issue with my new laptop where the display unfortunately has a greenish tint. Under Windows, I was able to compensate for the green tint using the built-in color calibration and save it as an ICC profile. Everything looks great with this profile.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get this profile to work in the current version of Gnome (wayland and x11). I followed the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles) I have colord/gnome-color-manager installed and I tried adding the profile with colormgr following the wiki, but it had no effect on Gnome/browser, etc. Moreover, only a couple of the default profiles seem to have an effect at all. I found two bug reports which suggest that my profile might not be a "whole-screen color correction" profile:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2612
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-co … ssues/2381

Is there a way I can convert my ICC profile into such a profile? 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. However, spending 120€ just for a GNOME quirk seems a bit excessive...

Thank you!
