I have tired everything in EVERY folder and I cannot see a icc profile that I have been trying to place in profiles. I am using IOS Ventura. Please help.

macOS Ventura 13.2.1

Change a device's color profile using ColorSync Utility on Mac

Can't see it where? In a particular app?

Normally, you place your profiles in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder. This is the Library folder you see at the root of the drive next to Applications, System and Users.

All users accounts of that Mac will be able to access any profiles placed there.

As references by Kurt Lang....

From the Finder>Go>Go to Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

or copy and paste:

/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

The System folder cannot be modified in any way. You will not be able to place any profiles in the /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder.

In order for your profiles to be seen by all apps that use ColorSync, the user can put profiles in only two places:

/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

For the latter (the tilde ~ means your home user account), macOS stopped creating this folder by default a few major releases ago. But you can still create a ColorSync folder within your user account Library folder, and a Profiles subfolder within that. Though the only purpose it serves to do that is any profiles you place there can only be seen within apps by that user when they are logged into their account.

I am using IOS Ventura. Please help.

Just to clarify, iOS is what iPhones and iPads use. Macs run macOS.

Good input here both Kurt Lang; and Old Toad application specific...

in summary: ICC Profiles in Ventura

From the Finder>Go>Go to Folder, copy and paste:

~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

I see an alias "profile folder" here for application specific profiles:

/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

The System files can not be modified:

/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

My icc files are located here in Ventura;

The Apple app ColorSync also lists all of the color profiles in the system and other devices:

The profiles are located inside the ColorSynce app:
