I wouldn't call it competing implementation, just a different scale. colord 
gives better results than kgamma if it works, if not kgamma is better than 
nothing.

Given that it would be awesome if we could figure out whether colord is 
properly supported and then show colord, otherwise kgamma. Does that sound 
possible?

Anyway I'd say both are candidates for plasma-desktop.

Oh and yes there is the 3rd way which is hooked up with KWin's color 
correction. But that is such a weird setup that I still haven't succeeded with 
setting it up at all.
