Mac Studio, macOS 15.1

The only one that will even be reasonably useful will be the one above the line. That's the profile pulled from the monitor itself.
An example of "above the line" is the default profile at the top, CG279X, pulled from my EIZO CG279X:
As you can see, I don't use that one. The checked profile is custom made with the included ColorNavigator software. I see I have a duplicate somewhere…
If the default profile is the horrible 6500K blue, you'll have to use a true profiling package to create your own monitor profile, as none of the rest have even the slightest thing to do with your monitor.
X-Rite has this unit, which I recommend because it can handle the brightness of newer monitors. They do have to successively cheaper versions, but they can't handle many nits of brightness.
This is the cheapest, and yet most important type of color management equipment you can get. If your monitor profile is meaningless, then trying to match anything to it will be a hair-pulling process.
