How to load .ICC calibrated LCD profile in BunsenLabs Hydrogen?

Title says it all. How do I install the color calibrated profile for my LCD?

Thanks in advance.

Arch wiki: Loading ICC Profiles

(First google hit for "install icc lcd linux" )

Yeah, I saw that in my searching. But to be quite honest, I wasn't sure if the Arch way would work for debian based distro. I know nothing about Arch.

apt search xcalib
...
xcalib/stable 0.8.dfsg1-2 amd64
  Tiny monitor calibration loader for Xorg

been playing with it on arch, and it does what it advertises.
apart from that i think gnome3/gtk3's colord is a hard dependency so it should already be installed and maybe one can just use that?

Aside from some Arch-specific packages, that wiki is about the best and most comprehensive information resource around (which is why there is a link to it in the Main Menu).

I wasn't sure if the Arch way would work for debian based distro.

Actually, that ArchWiki guide works better under Debian GNU/Linux than it does under Arch Linux because we have the xcalib package available in the official repositories rather than having to rely on the cesspool that is the AUR 8)

For BunsenLabs, simply add the `xcalib` command to ~/.config/openbox/autostart
