Little CMS
" Little CMS intends to be a small-footprint, speed optimized color management engine in open source form. Since the initial release, back in 1998, lcms has been continuously evolving, mostly thanks to contributions done by skilled programmers, who generously donated their valuable time to review the engine and the documentation. For now, little cms has been ported to a big number of platforms and is currently used in many open source and commercial products, as well as being distributed in major linux environments. "

SampleICC
" SampleICC provides an open source platform independent C++ library for reading, writing, manipulating, and applying ICC profiles along with applications that make use of this library. Some of the applications are platform independent, while others are built using Microsoft Visual Studio. A working knowledge of the ICC specification and color management workflows will aid in understanding the library and its proper usage. The latest ICC profile specification can be found on the ICC website (http://www.color.org). Several useful white papers and resources are also available on the website. "
