Scanner Color Correction

The combination of Canon LiDE210 and SANE provides me a usable scanner on Ubuntu.
However when scanning in color, colors are NOT accurate.

Color calibration is however not so simple as I thought.

The scanner needs to have an ICM/ICC profile.

Here are some sites regarding color correction:

A tool called Argyll can be downloaded through Synaptic.

To calibrate a scanner you will need something to scan that is accurate in color, i.e.:

(which I do not have, so this is it for now. Until then I will simply use a post-processing color correction method.)
