Color profiles in Windows under Boot Camp

Even though it’s less than a month since I scrubbed Windows 7 from my Macbook Pro, the infestation has returned thanks to those devious bastards at the Steam store.

(My language is harmless hyperbole. Mostly.)

A minor thing that was disproportionately bothering me was the difference between the colo(u)r profile under OS X and Windows 7. Under OS X everything looked beautiful. Under Windows 7, everything looked blue. Fortunately the Internet was invented in order to solve this exact, precise, specific problem (and can now be packed up and sent back to the manufacturer for dismantling and recycling).

Some kind soul named Simon on the NeoWin forums has laid out some instructions here for how to share a colo(u)r profile between OS X and Windows 7. It worked a treat.
