You can be notified if your color profile is old and inaccurate.
Can I get notified when my color profile is inaccurate?
You can be reminded to recalibrate your devices after a specific period of
time. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell without recalibrating whether
a device profile is accurate, so it is best to recalibrate devices
regularly.
Some companies have very specific calibration expiry policies for
profiles, as an inaccurate color profile can make a huge difference to an end
product.
If you set the timeout policy and a profile is older than the policy then
a red warning triangle will be shown in the Color panel next to
the profile. A warning notification will also be shown every time you log
into your computer.
To set the policy for display and printer devices, you specify the
maximum age of the profile in days:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color recalibrate-printer-threshold 180
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color recalibrate-display-threshold 90
