So colors look different in most of the cases. It would be unfair to make people believe that since the colors are defined in a color space that they will look the same on other people's screens. It will be approximately the same, not exactly as the presence of an icc profile could make people believe. As far as I know, web color 'lightslategray' will be #778899 even on a AdobeRGB calibrated screen. By the way, most of the users of Inkscape or Gimp aren't professional and don't have (again) a calibrated screen and/or printer so the colors won't be the same anyway even if there's a icc profile attached. Color spaces are needed only for the printing industry, not for web and not for "normal" people. So the software should show a "print quality label" for swatches (or colors) that have a profile attached but it shouldn't be mandatory in the specification. </body> </html>
