+GNOME Color Manager is a session framework that makes it easy to
+manage, install and generate color profiles in the GNOME desktop.
+
+This project has the following features:
+
+- Setting output gamma tables (with local brightness and adjustments)
+ to any Xrandr output (falling back to the per-screen methods for
+ drivers that do not yet support Xrandr 1.3).
+
+- Setting of settings at session start, and when monitors are
+ hotplugged.
+
+- Easy install of vendor supplied ICC or ICM files, just by double
+ clicking on the file.
+
+- Easy display calibration using an external calibration device, and
+ scanner calibration using a inexpensive IT 8.7 target. For
+ calibration, the ArgyllCMS package is required.
+
+- Integration X11 by setting the per-screen and per-output _ICC_PROFILE
+ atom, which makes applications such as the GIMP use a color managed
+ output.
+
+- Easy to use DBus interface for applications to query what ICC
+ profiles should be used for a specific device or device type. This is
+ session activated and is only started when it is needed, and quits
+ after a small period of idleness.
+
