Looks like you didn't set up the sysconfdir correctly when compiling colord.

You have the base file system package installed, right?

This mimetype is incorrect. I suspect you need some other package/data
file so that the mime-type detection works correctly. I don't know
what this is tho, as on Fedora it's installed already.

That's some odd/corrupt profile you have there. Can you email me the
contents of ~/.local/share/icc/ and ~/.color/icc/ and I'll check here
with a hex editor.
