OSCOLORDIR should be ICCPROFILES
<tt>.../<context-path>/colors/icc/context/colorprofiles.xml|.lua.</tt>
This list contains the profiles recommended by the [http://www.gwg.org GWG] (Ghent PDF Workgroup)in 2008,
the set of profiles bundled with [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ ghostscript]
and three test only profiles from the [http://www.color.org ICC] (International Color Consortium).
Special thanks must go to the '''Ghent PDF Workgroup (GWG)recommendations: '''for making a list of recommended profiles. Please have a look at the* [http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/iccprofiles/GWG_recommended_ICC_profiles_v13.pdf official documentation2008 version]first * [https://gwg.org/technical-specifications/gwg-2015-specifications/ 2015 version] (will take you only a minuteno profiles mentioned).The origin of this document There are a few contradictions to the PDF/X standards (and some more infoby [https://www.pdfa.org PDF Association])is located to assure a better quality, see the [httphttps://www.gwgpdfa.org/recommended_ICC_profiles.phtm herefurther-quality-requirements-pdfx-plus/ article by Stephan Jaeggi].
Nearly all predefined ICC profiles are also available in the download section.
Output intents are bound to very specific printing conditions (which vary worldwide),
so it's it’s very likely that you only need one or two ICC profiles (and not all of them).Therefore the profiles are also available as profile ZIPs come in 'localisedlocalized' versions.
GWG recommend ICC profiles
[http://www.color.org/probeprofile.xalter here]
ghostscript Ghostscript profiles:
[http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/iccprofiles/ghostscript_ICC_profiles.zip here]
The profiles are normally stored under
.../<context-path>/colors/icc/profiles
All profiles in the zip archive are already located in the correct sub path,
so you only have to unpack them right in your ConTeXt directory
(normally <tt>`texmf-context</tt>`).
In case you use these profiles also with other software, it is
possible to share them with ConTeXt. Simply set the environment
variable '''$OSCOLORDIRICCPROFILES''' to that special software related directory.
E.g. for Adobe Acrobat on Windows Vista this special directory is
<code> C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles\Recommended< Store the needed profiles there (without any TeX directory) andset $ICCPROFILES to that path. On MacOS use `~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles` for your own profiles; the following setup makes sense in `.bashrc` or `.profile`:  export ICCPROFILES="~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles//:/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles//:/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles//:" # /Library/ColorSync/Profiles//code>doesn’t contain anything useful
Store The double slashes at the needed profiles there (without any tex directory) andset $OSCOLORDIR to that pathend mean “all subdirectories”.
All you need now is a final <tt>luatools mtxrun --generate</tt> to update the file database.
In case of problems you should add
</texcode>
right in front of <tt>\{{cmd|setupbackend</tt> }} to get
all possible debugging info.
And that's that’s it for the moment...
