Bug Description

The color profile set either via the Gnome Control Center or colord has no effect in the Wayland session.

I tested it with Firefox and can see no difference no matter what color profile is set in GNOME.
I also changed the color profile in Firefox via the about:config and tried to set the color management flag to 1 (to always enable color management to no effect).

I then tested eog vs. shotwell.
In the Gnome Wayland session the images I compared looked identical but both not in the ICC profile I selected.
In the Gnome Xorg session there was a visible difference between eog which displayed the image with the selected ICC profile and shotwell which ignored the ICC profile.

This bug might very well be an upstream issue.
I am reporting it because (without diving very deep into the system) I do not see anything else to try to remedy this issue.
