colord

Tech stack & purpose

colord is a system service that manages, installs, and generates color profiles for input and output devices on Linux systems. It implements a system-activated daemon that provides a DBus API for querying and managing device-to-profile mappings, maintains a persistent database store, and allows users to set system-wide color settings across sessions. The project is built in C using libraries including GLib, DBus, LCMS2, libgusb, SQLite, and systemd, and is developed by hughsie as shown in the GitHub repository. colord also includes support for color sensor hardware like the ColorHug colorimeter through dedicated libraries and drivers.
