OK, have you read the manual on color management (Help->Manual) See if you meet these parameters
Color management with Scribus, an Introduction Activating Color Management For color management to function properly you need the following to be installed to be active and usable: Littlecms libraries installed and scribus compiled with lcms support. You can tell by looking at Help -> About Scribus and looking for C-C-T. The first C means Scribus is compiled with littlecms support. This is standard with MacOSX and Windows. You need a minimum of 1 RGB and 1 CMYK profile. Scribus provides two basic profiles to ensure CMS can be enabled immediately. In practical terms, you need more. One sRGB for most RGB colors and one for each color device. One for your monitor which is created with monitor profiling tools. Several CMYK profiles for printing. Some CMYK profiles are known as "press-standards", in that they represent common commercial print standards used in North America and Europe. The best bet is to download the "Windows" version of the Adobe ICC profile package and unzip it into a directory like $home/.colors/icc. Linux users can also download freely distributable profiles from the ICC downloads section on www.scribus.net Scribus, by default on Linux, will look in: $home/.color/icc and /usr/share/color/icc/ for both personal icc profiles or system wide ones. There is a small, but growing collection of freely available icc profiles for download on www.scribus.net. Look in the Downloads -> ICC section. Scribus on Windows or MacOSX will look in the default system directories. Earlier versions of Scribus will look in the directory specified in preferences. If you are new to color management, please look over the links and documentation on color management listed on www.scribus.net. These explain the theory and concepts far better than I could here.
