[Bf-committers] Colour Pickers and Apple P3 Filmic Update

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

Currently we are using default view of the display and require it to be an
inversible transformation. While some Grumpy Canadian will argue that we
should be using color_picking role for that, the answer would be: this is
correct, but supporting this is not trivial because of the way how color
picking works. Basically, you'll have to figure out what color management
was used at the point of where you clicked the picker.
