My probably uninformed opinion is that, as these issues demonstrate,
it is not a good idea to try to pick any non-RGB color at all.
Inkscape rendering works in RGB, the screen works in RGB, and
pretending that what we picked from the screen is not RGB is
inherently clumsy. If you want to pass one object's ICC reference to
another object, just use copy/paste style, color picker is a wrong
tool for this.
