in the Color Lookup drop-down menu, my abstract profiles appear with incorrect names! Why? What's wrong with my names: ContrastColor.ICC; Bordeaux.ICC

Test Screen name gave the answer in his first post.

An ICC profile has two names. There is the name of the file that you see on your computer, in Windows explorer or Mac Finder, e.g. abcdef.icc and there is also a second name stored within that file. That second, internal, name is used in the profile list in Photoshop and other applications. Often the names are the same but they don't have to be. The application that makes the profile adds the second name, when the file is created, either through manually inputting it or adding it automatically.

It looks like the internal names on those profiles in your screenshot have been corrupted.

If I had to do a wild guess, it looks as if you might be using English language software on a Japanese language system, with a profile containing a name in Japanese. This is typical mojibake.
