What a great discussion, this is what makes this list useful. Thanks
to everybody for contributing.
I'd guess that for building profiles you could do it one of a couple of
ways.
One way would be to manually white balance each time and have one
profile describing that. So you'd set your camera's white balance to
Custom and always balance the white point by holding up a white target
before each shot. In this case white will always be white, it's
objective color. A white ceramic mug should look white onscreen
whether it was photographed at midday or at sunset.
Another way would be to always set your camera to say Daylight white
point and build a profile of that based on a subject illuminated by
daylight. This would be more of a subjective color, meaning white
won't be white, so a white ceramic mug shot at midday will look white
onscreen, but the same mug shot at sunset will look yellower onscreen.
I don't think either way is right or wrong, it depends on what you want
the outcome to be, objective or subjective.
