For test purposes, I have created an RGB test profile (with Display
Calibrator Assistant) that's "way off", so that you can easily see when
this profile is used. Now, when I switch to this profile (to be my
display profile) in the Displays System Preferences, *every* content of
my display changes color, be it from TextEdit, Preview, whatever - even
movies in DVDPlayer.

When you create a profile with Display Calibrator Assistant, you're not only
creating a profile, but also a calibration. In short, selecting that profile
in Displays actually modifies the display, as if you had turned the knobs on
it (if it had knobs!).

I'm well aware of that. But I mean, that's all a display profile is about, isn't it?

So that's why you see everything displayed in every app change.

Yes, of course. But this is fine. It is why I want to apply a display profile. A display profile obviously belongs to a specific display, not a specific document.

Maybe if your try instead selecting something weird such as Wide Gamut RGB or
AdobeRGB you can see the effect you want...

Misunderstanding. With the display profile, it *is* exactly the effect I expected to see.

What I don't understand is why the same doesn't work with printers and printer profiles. (I.e. that a printer profile "actually modifies this printer, as if I had turned the knobs on it (if it had knobs!)" - so that there would be no need for individual apps to care about printer profiles.)
