I know no other tool for that than Acrobat Pro, but there probably are one or two others; don’t know if there are *free and usable* tools to check on colors/profiles in PDFs... > If I look at the colors this way the RGB values of the included svg are > always the original values defined by the file.

If you can ensure all RGB colors are tagged with the same profiles then it should work, as long as you only care about *same* colors and not (CMYK-defined) *specific* colors... Do your SVGs declare their RGB color space? Color management *is* complicated.
