-- Thanks, Neil.

I wondered if ColorThink was showing something else instead of the white
point specified/measured during calibration & characterization.

But when I load a PhotoCal-generated CRT profile (D65) into ColorThink, the
white point is identified as 6400K. Does that suggest ColorVision is mapping
to D65 Lab instead? That would seem strange...

-- if you mean output (printer) profiles, shouldn't the white point be
related to the actual measured "white" of the media?
