Yes, I had already done this and learned that dt was of the opinion
that my system was correctly set-up, even though I then had the relevant
.icc in $HOME/.local/share/icc. I have since moved it to
$HOME/.config/darktable/color/out, having created the directory.

Further to my earlier reply, I am intrigued to understand why there is
no directory '/color/out' within the 'usr/share/darktable' directory -

You don't. You tell Linux where your profile is, as Guillermo said.
Then, applications simply ask the
You should create that directory in your user home directory, something
like $HOME/.config/darktable/color/out
/usr/share directories are system directories and could be overwritten or
deleted by the package/application on updates, uninstalling,

darktable will look for Xatom or colord and
