Colour management path

I'm writing an application to check accuracy of a colour profile (those .icc/.icm things). The application takes Lab values measured from a target directly and compares them to Lab values the profile predicted. I want to show not just a numeric report, but a visual comparison too. To do so, I need to convert Lab numbers to RGB numbers through user monitor profile. The question is - if I do

Code: Select all

set the penColor to r,g,b
is it shown "as is", sending the triplet directly to the screen, or any additional conversion happens on the way?
