xfce4-settings - Color Profiles

The Color Profiles preference tool enables you to manage, install and generate color profiles to accurately color manage input (webcams, scanners) and output devices (displays, printers).

Display profiles don't work out of the box in Xfce (yet), you need a daemon like xiccd for them to work.

Overview
