Is there a way to get the CMYK ICC name that is assigned under the Illustrator Working Space Color Settings with ExtendScript when there is no document open?

The following code works when there is a document open:

app.activeDocument.colorProfileName

I am not a scripter, but Bridge can be used to set the global Color Settings, so maybe Bridge can give that info?

Hi @Chris.S I don't know how to do that unfortunately, but would it work to create a new CMYK document (using defaults) and get the ICC from that? Then close it immediately?

Yes, that's what I ended up doing as a workaround, but was hoping there was another way I just didn't know about.
