I did some tests using AdobeRGB as starting space and sRGB as
destination space. My monitor is a wide gamut one, so Adobe RGB is
fully contained in its gamut.
I used both Relative and Perceptual (with Argyll gamut mapping)
intents. The original image contains a gradient completely out of
gamut for sRGB,  so using Relative intent I should obtain a uniform
color, while using Perceptual intent with gamut mapping I should
obtain the same (but shifted) gradient.
But there are no differences between Relative and Perceptual intents :(

This is a 3-levels tiff with the original AdobeRGB gradient, the
sRGB/Relative and the sRGB/Perceptual ones:

You will need a wide gamut monitor to see the differences between
AdobeRGB and sRGB, otherwise you will have to use the color picker.

Cheers,
