I am using EXIFTOOL to be able to read ICC Profile Name example AdobeRGB 1998. I tried this as a command (exiftool ~/Desktop/Images/* -EXIF:ColorSpace -EXIF:-icc_profile) and and did not get anything for icc_profile. How do I read what the color ICC Profile of a tiff image is?

I am looking to find out ICC_Profile Profile Description. What do I use as the command?
exiftool ~/Desktop/Images/* -icc_Profile

Try this:

exiftool -profiledescription ~/Desktop/Images
