colord is a system service that makes it easy to manage, install and generate color profiles to accurately color manage input and output devices.
This functionality is implemented as a system activated daemon called colord. Being system activated means that it's only started when the user is using a text mode or graphical tool.
What colord does:
-
Provides a DBus API for other programs to query, e.g. "Get me the profiles for device $foo" or "Create a device and assign it profile $bar"
-
Provides a persistent database backed store for device -> profile mapping.
-
Provides the session for a way to set system settings, for instance setting the display profile for all users and all sessions.
See the website for more details.
