That looks like soft proofing an Inkscape graphic, to get a simulation of what it looks like printed. Very useful to know.
Edit: It does let you work with 'safe' colors, but remember when you export an image, it is RGB
To round that off in Gimp, (and I use image-by-image rather than the global settings in Edit > Preferences)
1. View -> Color Management -> Color-Manage this View
2. View -> Color Management -> Proof Colors
3. View -> Color Management -> Soft-Proofing Profile and choose the icc profile you require.
this a 30 second example using that ISO-Coated V2 (FOGRA 39) icc https://i.imgur.com/cvGENin.mp4
Of course Gimp is still a RGB editor the colors in the image are not changed, it is just a simulation. For a CMYK jpeg or tiff then there is the CYAN plugin.
