In the code base on which the user environment KDE Plasma 6 is built, support for Wayland protocol extensions responsible for color management has been added to the composite server Kwin[1]. This means that in the KDE Plasma 6 session on Wayland, users now have the ability to manage colors separately for each screen[2].
