It is a color capture on an old yellow post-it

I have an old photoshop on a Windows computer (which I now use only very 
rarely), I prefer to stay on linux

I do not know the command "xicclu", thank you


For cons, I'm not sure how to use it

Here is a "spotread inputcolor.txt" from a Pantone solid to process (purchased 
in 2001)
Reading X Y Z L * a * b *
### Yellow Solid Color###

To find the CMYK values ​​should I use this command?
xicclu -ff -ip Fogra27L.icm < inputcolor-LAB.txt > outputcolor-CMYK.txt

as with file inputcolor-LAB.txt :
1 89.421084 -7.197040 90.760042
2 89.856374 -7.264686 91.083563
3 48.792720 71.741607 1.939272
4 48.766431 72.631855 1.971272
5 58.098435 -37.923215 -44.051122
6 58.114830 -38.458789 -44.162024
7 19.487812 1.281129 1.049011
8 19.365324 1.297894 0.561354

I have weird output result
