I can save you the expense: on my Dell Ultrasharp (older model, but still well beyond sRGB) the colour choices we're complaining about here are still barely legible. And yes, it does have the correct magic bytes loaded in colord!

Maybe it's readable at 100% brightness but nobody wants to stare into a lightbulb, and this thing's old enough that getting there takes a few minutes now...
