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.

12 years...
- And still not at X11's level. I daily Wayland, but this is extremely disappointing as a photo editor.
  
  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.
  
  Wayland can never hope to achieve the level of HDR support that X11 enjoys.
- frog_protocols already pulling their weight in gold it seems like.
  
  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.
