&digikam; defaults to using the sRGB color space as the monitor color space profile. \
And you don't need to tell &digikam; to use a color-managed workflow because \

           <sect3> <title>Does the lighting and wall/ceiling/drape/furniture colors \
near my monitor matter? </title>  <para>Yes!  Good lighting is a prerequisite for \
proper image editing and for comparing prints to the image on your screen. If the \
lighting near your workstation is too bright, colors on your monitor look too dark, \
and conversely. If the light from the fixtures in your workroom have a low CRI (color \
rendering index, meaning you don't have full spectrum bulbs), or if the light in your \
workroom comes from a window and so varies as the weather and time of day varies (or \
worse, is filtered through colored drapery), or if the walls and ceiling are creating \
color casts on your monitor, then your editing process will "correct" color casts \
that don't really exist. Best advice, as far as is consistent with maintaining \
harmony in the family: neutral grey walls and ceiling, cover the windows, wear \
neutral clothing, set appropriate light levels using appropriate bulbs and fixtures. \
For more information on what are the appropriate light levels, bulbs and fixtures for \
editing ima  ges and viewing prints, see the following articles:</para>
