Yup, control center is a big part of color management in GNOME.

No, sorry. *GNOME* Control Center needs lots of GNOME dependencies. :)

I've outlined the simple things a session color management component
needs to do here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord/faq.html#gcm

colord doesn't actually have any config files to setup the mapping,
instead it uses a couple of databases to store all the mapping
attributes and values. To modify this, the easiest way is to either
use the DBus interface, or the colormgr command line client.
