The only other format I know that contains an ICC profile is the DICOM
(formerly supplement 145) file format that I have referred to in previous
posts.

However, any of the TIFF-based formats can contain one using the private
TIFF tag assigned to the International Color Consortium 34675 (8773h),
field type 7 = UNDEFINED. See Annex B.3 of http://www.color.org/specification/ICC1v43_2010-12.pdf
for more details. So these could be added by vendors in the future whilst
maintaining backward compatibility.
