There are a few things that could be done. One is to just hide the button when the scroll bars are hidden. That would solve the space problems you are seeing, but still leave it accessible to others.
I don't think it's a good idea to tie display adjustment with the presence of scrollbars. This suggests some non-existent link between scrolling and colors.
I could drop in only into the view menu, like outline mode is at the moment. However... that might cause confusion for end users. Outline mode is very self-evident when it is on. However, color management in operation might be hard to notice. People would just get annoyed at getting "ugly" colors, or "not the same" colors that are perceived as "wrong".
Do other apps have such an indicator in the main UI? Photoshop or AI for example?
I personally don't see any problem with this thing being only in the menu. But if you think you must have a button, then the most logical place for it is in the statusbar, e.g. before the XYZ controls on the right. However, by all means please make it optional, off by default! The great majority of users will never use any color management, let alone use it so actively as to benefit from a statusbar button, so for them it will be just a wasted space and an annoyance if it's on by default.
