How to change color profile to P3?

In KDE Settings > Display & Monitor > Color profile, I see three options: None, Built-in, and ICC Profile (requiring a path to a profile). I found comments in other posts that Wayland’s color management is WIP, I’d still like to have P3 colors even if they’re more saturated.

xrandr mentions P3 for me:

	Colorspace: Default 
		supported: Default, SMPTE_170M_YCC, BT709_YCC, XVYCC_601, XVYCC_709, SYCC_601, opYCC_601, opRGB, BT2020_CYCC, BT2020_RGB, BT2020_YCC, DCI-P3_RGB_D65, DCI-P3_RGB_Theater

Switching to one:

xrandr --output 'HDMI-1' --set 'Colorspace' 'DCI-P3_RGB_D65'

I’m thinking proptest might be able to do something like that for Wayland.

Looking at this comment, I opened the ColorSync app in macOS and found the location of the built-in display profiles: /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ . I copied them to Asahi and set the ICC in KDE display settings to Profiles/Display P3.icc .
