Hi Till and Didier, Yes, cups-filters already is already implemented for color management.
The original color-management-patch was more specialized for handling "PPD per-queue" operations. So there might have been some confusion as to its purpose in the last few years. The patch itself is still useful for individuals who want a modified interface for per-queue, but as Mike told me during the summer, this is not something that can be supported "officially" through the web interface.
