Hi Roger,
some ICC V2 profiles will have what you want. Some V2 profiles
and all V4 profiles will not. For reasons that have not really
been explained (and in my view, can't be explained in a rational fashion),
V4 display profiles have been declared to have a D50 media color, even thought
this is rarely the case.
The actual media color will be implicit in the 'chad' tag,
although I doubt any standard CMM' do anything with that tag.
Such profiles effectively have no absolute colorimetric intent support.
Note that on the other hand, ArgyllCMS V2 display profiles are consistent
with the standard sRGB and AdobeRGB display profiles, having a white
point tag that represents the actual media color, therefor supporting
absolute colorimetric intent.
Graeme Gill.
