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.

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
