ICC is not (at least yet) and official file extension. It is just the acronym for International Color Consortium, the organization that has provided the color standards for open color management. http://www.color.org

.icm is the Microsoft file extension for a color profile made to the ICC specs. Microsoft's .icm is for image color matching. I heard a rumor that Microsoft was changing to .icc but have no idea if this is true.

If you are not sure what platform your profile will be used on it is best to always add the .icm extension.
