    Profiling > Profile type > Advanced gamut mapping options >Default rendering intent

    Does this option have an effect on *everything* that is displayed, or only programs that explicitly support color profiling?

    No. The only ‘effect’ it has is that it gives applications a means to figure out what the preferred rendering intent is. But applications may ignore this at their leisure, so there is no guarantee.

    Despite that, “default rendering intent” still ultimately decides how Windows renders OS (i.e., UI) colors, correct?

    No. Windows itself is not color managed.

    I see, thank you.

    I recently re-calibrated using a new default rendering intent and chromaticity coordinates instead of color temperature and found doing so got rid of the green tint in my grays. I am going to assume it was all thanks to using chromaticity coordinates for my whitepoint; it had nothing to do with switching from perceptual to absolute colorimetric.

    Correct.
