How do I import color profiles?

The profile can easily be imported by double clicking on the .ICC or .ICM file in the file browser. Alternatively you can select Import profile… from Settings ▸ Color when selecting a profile for a device.

Alternatively you can manage your color profiles through the Color panel.

  • Open the Activities overview and start typing Color.
  • Click on Color to open the panel and select your device.
  • Click Add profile to select an existing profile or import a new profile.
  • Press Add to confirm your selection.

The manufacturer of your display may supply a profile that you can use. These profiles are usually made for the average display, so may not be perfect for your specific one. For the best calibration, you should create your own profile using a colorimeter or a spectrophotometer.
