Is it possible to change the Windows color profile using a hotkey?

Does anyone know of a way to change the color profile in windows using a hotkey?

This option or something equivalent:

I believe this may be your best bet: https://argyllcms.com/doc/dispwin.html (see also: http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/dispprofloc.html). And yeah I know, the website design is straight out of 2004 lmao.

Basically once installed, set up a keyboard shortcut that can run the following commandline: c:\bin\argyll\dispwin c:\myprofiles\mydisplay.icm

Note I’ve not implemented this myself, so hopefully this works.

You can also “run” colorcpl which gives more direct access to manual switching, though still not ideal.

Funny enough, windows does have a keyboard shortcut for setting a color filter as part of accessibility stuff. (ADHD protip: setting things to greyscale can help you escape the attention whirlpool of a screen)
