A method and system for managing the application of a color profile to a color device in connection with a calibration event associated with the color device. A color management module is configured to detect a request to inhibit application of color profile received from a calibration module. The color management module facilitates the removal of a current profile applied to the color device. The color management module monitors a connection used to communication with the calibration module to identify a termination event associated with the calibration module and/or calibration event. In response to identifying the termination event, the color management module facilitates the application of a color profile to the color device.
