4.2 Color Management Does not appear in the menu.
Make sure you have .icc and or .icm profiles in the /scribus/profiles
directory. Ideally, you will have a set of profiles which includes one
for your monitor, one for the images and any scanner or input device
profiles and profiles for your printer or output device. You need a
minimum of 1 RGB color space icc profile and 1 CMYK icc color space
profile for the color management options to be enabled. See the details
in Color Management for Scribus for links and info about color profiles.

has a set of standard icc profiles, which are useful for commercial
printing.
