Comment by Zamundaaa (Xaver) a couple of hours ago. (AKA One of the most prominent KDE and Wayland Dev)

There will also be a new Display/HDR HackFest in around 2 weeks where most prominent Devs from different DE and companies like Valve, ADM and Igalia will attend. Hosted by the latter in La Coruña, Spain. https://www.phoronix.com/news/2024-Linux-Display-Hackfest-May

But doesnt KDE and weston already have HDR implementations? Yes but there are patched hacks. The protocol will finally make things clear and standard so it can be implemented by all the different parties.

The protocol in gitlab

I'm aware of HDR, but what is Game Color (besides the obviousness of the two words, individually)?

~CC~ ~BY-NC-SA~ ~4.0~

Meant to write Color Management, mainly used in gaming (one of the reasons Valve is pushing hard for this)

What does that mean ? Games writing color profiles or what?

color management is by no means "mainly used" in gaming

I would say it’s a lot more important to content authoring, photography and the like than gaming.
