<title>How do I import color profiles?</title>
<p>You can import a color profile by double clicking on a <file>.ICC</file>
or <file>.ICM</file> file in the file browser.</p>
<p>Alternatively you can manage your color profiles through the
<gui>Color</gui> panel.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Color</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Color</gui> to open the panel and select your
device.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Add profile</gui> to select an existing profile or import
a new profile.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press <gui>Add</gui> to confirm your selection.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>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
<link xref="color-calibrate-screen">create your own profile</link> using a
colorimeter or a spectrophotometer.</p>
