That only takes us so far.

First of all: Chrome still has broken color management. DisplayCAL has a way to generate profiles that look like garbage in applications which process color profiles incorrectly, and this happens with Chrome (but not Firefox.).

Besides that, even if it had feature parity with Firefox, we'd still remain stuck in the land of ICC color profiles, and those have a few issues.

I'd love to see web browsers support this modified version of this:

For which an implementation exists, here:

https://github.com/nschloe/colorio

…but no operating systems and hence no browsers support it.

I hear you, but at the same time this relevant xkcd comes to mind:

Colorio looks great, thanks for the link! Also has Jzazbz support I see, neat!
