Hello friends,
Well I must say I found inkscape an extraordinary way of dealing with SVGs but one thing which really disappoints me is the lack of support of CMYK. One way I found to do this is to use ICC Colors so this is what I want to know that does inkscape support ICC-Color in the SVGs If YES then can anyone tell me how it can be done?
Thanks

Does Inkscape support ICC-Colors?

Welcome to InkscapeForum!
I'm not sure about ICC colors. But the extension discussed in this topic viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5943 can export CMYK in PDF or TIFF

You can use ICC color profiles for soft proofing (see 'Inkscape preferences > Color management'), or you can link specific ICC profiles to the current document (in 'Document Properties > Color Management') and then use such a linked color profile in the color selector of 'Fill and Stroke' (CMS tab).
Working with linked ICC profiles is currently only supported for SVG files, and does not allow to export e.g. color-managed PDF files. Please read this article for an alternative workflow if you need to create color-managed exports e.g. for printing: Getting CMYK colors from Inkscape to Scribus for printing (Libre Graphics World)
