I tend to prefer color() over icc() as well. As for where the profile names come from, should at least hardcode sRGB, and could hardcode a few more, but in general I expect that we would also have an @rule to declare color spaces.

@colors "adobe-rgb" {
  profile: url("https://www.example.com/adobe.icc");
}
