Specifying Colors with a different ColorModel than sRGB

Question

Hi everyone,
for a reason which I still don't understand, for sometimes I'm as foolish as hell, I want to specify a color with the HSV color model.
In order to do this I went through the API specification and I came up with this solution, which I thought would work:
float components[] = {0.67f, 0.6f, 0.85f};
ColorSpace cs = new ICC_ColorSpace(ICC_Profile.getInstance(ICC_Profile.icSigHsvData));
Color HSVColor = new Color(cs, components, 1.0f);
but at run-time I receive the IllegalArgument Exception "Unknown color space".
Can someone lend a hand?
Thanks guys,
Pierlu.

It's strange how sometimes you understand where you were wrong only when you ask someone else for cues.
I've rearranged my code in the following way, and now it works:
float components[] = {0.67f, 0.6f, 0.85f};
ColorSpace cs = new ICC_ColorSpace(ICC_Profile.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_CIEXYZ)); //<---
Color c = new Color(cs, components, 1.0f);
but nonetheless it doesn't do what I want!
I tried to specify the ColorSpace in the following way
ColorSpace cs = new ICC_ColorSpace(ICC_Profile.getInstance(ColorSpace.TYPE_HSV));
but I still get an error.
So I've come to the conclusion that I only can specify colorspaces through static constants that starts with "CS_".
But my question now is: "How can I specify a color though the HSV or the CIE_Lab or any other damned colorspace?"
(Sorry guys but I'm getting a nerve out of this)
Thanks again you all,
Pierlu.
