Which is why I mentioned it's useful without color.

colord builds display profiles from display EDID, so you can get better results than doing nothing (no conversions) by in fact doing nothing (no user involvement); you don't need a colorimeter to benefit from this, although you'll probably get even better results if you do have one.

And everybody who uses a web browser or prints to a printer will ultimately be better served by colord. It is not just for pros or some esoteric use cases.
