You might as well need the following packages, with the reason after
the colons:

icc-profiles-free: Provides color profiles for use with Scribus.
Provides the following profiles:
* /usr/share/color/icc/Gray-CIE_L.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/CineonLog_M_Knee_10.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/CineonLog_M.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/Gray.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/FOGRA29L.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/sRGB.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/CineonLog_M_Knee_20.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/CineLogCurve.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/FOGRA40L.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/LCMSXYZI.ICM
* /usr/share/color/icc/compatibleWithAdobeRGB1998.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/ITULab.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/TR003.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/CineonLog_M_Knee_30.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/LStar-RGB.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/TR006.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/TR005.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/FOGRA28L.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/FOGRA30L.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/FOGRA39L.ti3
* /usr/share/color/icc/LCMSLABI.ICM
* /usr/share/color/icc/CineonLog_M_Knee_60.icc
* /usr/share/color/icc/TR002.ti3
argyll: Has a command called Colprof, which creates .icc profiles from
.ti3 files. Needed because Inkscape reads only .icc files as color files
.

Note: If you're using Inkscape with color profiles, be aware that:
when creating a project with Inkscape, you must link the color profile
that you want to use in the project's properties. For example, if you
plan to use a CMYK color profile like FOGRA27L (one of the most used
CMYK color profiles worldwide) or FOGRA39L (preferred by FOGRA over
FOGRA27L), go to the project's properties, and in color management,
select the desired profile and link it to the project. Then, for every
object in the project, check whether their fill and stroke have color
management enabled and set to that color profile (if I'm not mistaken,
there must be a tab called "CMS", where you can enable or disable
color management for the objects). Be carefully though, I don't know
if Inkscape enables color management for objects automatically once a
color profile has been linked, so you might as well stay in the safe
side and double check. Also, if you want to import .svg images to
Scribus, and if these images use a color standard other than RGB, make
sure to export then to other image format, preferable a lossless one,
and then import these to Scribus.

We must also consider the paper weight (grams per square meter of
paper ream) of the paper being used. I'm still trying to understand
this concept as I'm quite inexperienced in printed graphics design.
But I have been told that the paper weight can affect the choice of
color profile too.

Also, you'll probably come to a dead end in the following situations:

* If you don't know which color profile the printer will be using.
"CMYK" is not enough, as we have "Pantone", FOGRA27L, FOGRA39L, SWOP
v2.0, and so on;

* If color profiles fall under functional data according to the free
software philosophy (that's quite likely to be the case, as we have a
package for this matter, the icc-profiles-free package). AND IF the
printer doesn't use one of the profiles from the icc-profiles-free
package. In this case, we won't be able to help you much regarding the
installation of this non-free functional data, and you'll have to get
the color profile either with those responsible for printing, or via
any other means.

As general tips (from the video linked in the additional references):

* When handing the project to those responsible for printing, get then
a list of the colors with their CMYK hexadecimal values side-by-side
with their HSL values;

* Ask if the organization responsible for printing can get you a
printed preview, even if you need to pay them to do so;

* If they ask for the source files, they'll probably mess up with your
work;

* I have seem some article saying that PostScript is the "native"
format used by printers nowadays. I just can't confirm the
reference/source as I don't remember where I have seem it.
