How to add ICC-ICM profile for color settings

Download the JDI (i7) profile from notebookcheck.

Default ICC Profile Location: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays Some third-party apps (like screen dimming) will need to be disabled before loading a new ICC-ICM Profile (or else the computer will need to be restarted afterwards for the changes to take effect).

1. ColorSync Utility:
   • Press Command + Spacebar to open spotlight (default shortcut).
   • Type “ColorSync Utility” and open the application.
2. Apply ICC-ICM Profile:
   • Go to the “Devices” tab and select your display.
   • Under “Current Profile”, select “Other”.
   • Locate the ICC Profile and select it.
3. Login Screen: Note: This is an optional step to load the ICC Profile to the computer’s login screen.
   • Press Command + Spacebar to open spotlight (default shortcut).
   • Type “Directory Utility” and open the application.
   • Unlock the application using your administrator’s password.
   • Select Edit > “Enable Root User”.
   • Create a new password for the root account.
   • Switch users and log in as “Other”.
   • Type in “root” as the username and enter your newly created password.
   • Repeat Steps 1-2 and apply the ICC Profile in the root account, then log out.
   • Back in your regular user account, open the “Directory Utility” application again and unlock it.
   • Finally, select Edit > “Disable Root User”.
