installing icc profile on built-in display ventura mac power book

I made a icc profile with Colormunki and wanted to use it for the display of my Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.6.2

I placed it in the ColorSynch Profiles folder but it doesn't appear on when I open the System Setting/Display/preset list.

Is it possible to use this icc profile?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.6

While I have many years experience in color management and profile creation/editing, I have no direct experience with these new Apple displays.


Based on a different, long topic I was in some months back, they seem to function on the same principle as my EIZO monitor, where the calibration data (LUT) is stored in the monitor's hardware, rather than the on-board video or card.


That user had the same issue with a stand-alone Apple display and a newer model MacBook Pro as you are here. They could calibrate it with a separate colorimeter, but it would snap back to a preset profile, throwing out the calibration/profile they had just made.


Without being able to work with one of these to figure out how to get around this insistence of loading a preset profile, I'm afraid I can't be much help. Which is too bad, because there is no profile that will remain perfect forever for any monitor, no matter how much you pay for it. They all have to be recalibrated and profiled after at least a few months of use.

Reading your initial post again, I have to ask:


  1. Why did the ColorMunki app not set the new profile as the default when it finished? That's what it should do.
  2. It sounds like you made this profile on some other device, and now you want it to be the monitor profile for the PowerBook? If so, that's pointless. A profile from some other computer in no way represents the display panel on the PowerBook.

  1. Colormunki (X-Rite ccStudio) did change the color profile of the Built-in Display as I could see and saved the profile to a folder but when I closed and resumed working it defaulted back to one of the Presets.
  2. I am using two displays. The display for a Huion tablet does show an option for "Color Profiles" and displayed and held the new profile. The Display panel for the Macbook Pro only shows "Color Presets" not Color Profiles. The presets are the default choices: Apple display, HDR Video, etc. See attached images. That's why I asked whether it's possible to change the Color Profiles beyond those Presets. I'm using Ventura 13.6.2
