Thank you very much for the detailed and efficient response! Now, I just need to find a suitable printing house…
Yes, I’ve also considered Pantone colors, but since licenses are required, it’s starting to get quite complicated and tedious—having to constantly read legal materials to figure out what is permitted and what isn’t. It’s time-consuming and exhausting. I find it’s already cumbersome enough to search for the correct format, convert files each time, and look for a high-quality printing house that can deliver the results I want. So far, I haven’t found one like that yet. I’m sure the issue of achieving vibrant and high-quality prints is a pretty frustrating challenge shared by many designers around the world.
Look for Freetone, that is the project @Takiro mentioned. It is from About – Culture Hustle.

That’s wonderful! Thank you very much for the link !!!
You’re welcome!
And if it’s a resource you’re looking for, and you’re stuck, feel free to ask if it’s a Krita resource, I can help in many cases. If it’s a resource for other programs that Krita can use, I often have an answer too, but mostly I know what’s available for Krita.

Well, I looked into the FREETONE offering, which sounded very interesting and exciting at first. However, I came across many concerning reviews about people who ordered products from the company. Since you’ve helped me with great answers, I feel it’s important to share this with all of you, so everyone can think carefully before ordering products from them. I would love to hear honest feedback from anyone who has downloaded their palette.
I never bought or downloaded anything from them, and in fact, I only looked up that site because the name of the product was known to me. But with that rating on Trustpilot, they are not a company I would buy from.
So, thank you for your heads-up!
As I read in the search results for that site, it was said, that they offer the plugin for Photoshop for free. If that is true, and you know someone who has Photoshop or a software able to handle its plugins, you can install that plugin and grab the palette from the plugin to transfer it to Krita. You just need Krita side to side to Photoshop and pick the colors from that plugin to write them into a new Krita palette.
I’ll try it later today or tomorrow, if a software I own, capable of loading older PS plugins, is able to load that plugin, if I can get my hands on it, and if their license allows it (Freetone sounds promising), I’ll try to transfer the palette.

This would be amazing! Please share if you succeeded in the venture!
I don’t believe that’s the thing I meant. I was only referring to the color profile and from what I know it was just a drop in replacement for the Pantone ICC profiles. At that time it was only a github page with code but I can’t remember the project name unfortunately.
Although it may exist, I never saw this profile you mention, but a long time ago I did a recherche on the topic because someone mentioned a free reverse engineered version of Pantone. And although the website back then was a different one, at least in its look, it was the same guy, and it was the only project in this regard I could ever discover. So perhaps they deleted it? And what also came back to mind, is, that they should have been sued for offering this freetone stuff, but I can’t remember the result of the process.
Good that I don’t need this … whatever.
