Will the real ICC sRGB please stand up!
https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/srgb-profile-comparison.html
I enjoy this color enthusiast's blog, esp its GNU/Linux perspective.
The author has a lot to say to the advanced amateur, like me, not unlike
Rodney does, and I offer it not because I think it's a reference quality
work, but because it shows how someone who is obviously very interested in
computer color thinks about the subject and the effects of tools on that
thinking. I happen to disagree with some of the opinions offered —I also
disagree with a number of Rodney's opinions about sRGB according to his
video tutorials—and I have found one major aspect, elsewhere on the blog,
that I feel is totally wrong. But it doesn't invalidate the author.
The reason I offer the page in context of this thread is that it asks such
an obvious yet overlooked question WRT to basic ICC color: Why would you
think your standard profile is even correct to the standard? Do you go into
your working space profiles and look at the numbers to ensure they're
correct, or do you just trust a third party? The blog author thought to ask
this and came up with interesting results.
In Libre SW movement, the question is very significant because of the
democratic nature of the SW. Who's keeping tabs on this stuff? What does it
mean when structure of your whole OS is manifest like opinions on a forum?
Speaking to the matter of ICC gamut. Don't think for a second that because
you've got a ICC profile, even for an apparently standard working space,
that you've got a lock on the facts.

P.S/ Please do not consider this post an invitation to pick the referenced
blog apart. I came across it by chance and find it interesting and
relevant. I have never met the author and have no axe to grind with them.
They certainly don't deserve to be harassed if you find their opinions or
even facts wanting. Just consider the point about the reality of sRGB in
context.
