To find out, I've removed it from the inputs and it built just fine and
gcm-viewer also started up fine.  What was the reason that you added it?

You are free to leave it as is on your computer.  When merging it to
guix master there have to be some standards--otherwise master would be
perpetually broken.

In this specific case, some other packages in (gnu packages gnome) also have
adwaita-icon-theme as input.  Even when there is that input that is unused it
will not cause problems (however, it will also not do what you wanted
it to do--whatever that is).  Also, nothing depends on gnome-color-manager.
Therefore, applied to guix master as commit
29ae18db0578bbdbc0119703f7412fe91927e80e.

But really, having one specific theme (which is by definition a user-selectable
thing) as an input is weird.  Let's fix that everywhere eventually.
