Qt Merges Wayland Color Management "color-management-v1"

Written by Michael Larabel in Qt on 8 November 2025 at 06:50 AM EST. 25 Comments
The Qt toolkit has merged support for Wayland's color-management-v1 protocol to replace the former xx-color-management-v4 protocol shipped by this open-source toolkit. The change was merged for Qt 6.11 development but also back-ported for the Qt 6.10 series.

Qt 6.10 and Qt 6.11 development now support Wayland's color-management-v1 in place of their former usage of the experimental xx-color-management protocol. It took five years and until just this past February for the Wayland color management and HDR protocol to be merged upstream. And then in the time since for the Qt developers to ensure their color-management-v1 implementation was up to par.

The color-management-v1 protocol is detailed at Wayland.appThis merge yesterday landed the color-management-v1 in Qt while this merge cherry-picked it for Qt 6.10. This should be found then for the upcoming Qt 6.10.1 point release of this current toolkit stable series.
