An input color profile just tells darktable
the meaning of the numbers in the input file.

Thanks for the time you have spent on this response. There's more to it
than I thought - especially further opportunity to make a fool of
myself, failing to understand the implications of 'input' in 'input

Notice that this is only important if there is not a system wide monitor

You should create that directory in your user home directory, something
like $HOME/.config/darktable/color/out
/usr/share directories are system directories and could be overwritten or

no directory '/color/out' within the 'usr/share/darktable' directory -
which is where dt says it will look for a monitor profile. I am unable
to create the required directory, except via use of sudo in a command
line - which
Yes, I had already done this and learned that dt was of the opinion
that my system was correctly set-up, even though I then had the relevant
