Headless screenshots rendered differently depending on active monitor on macOS

Reported by don...@gmail.com, Aug 14 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.39 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
0. Use headless Chrome
1. Render a page and take screenshot having only the laptop active
2. Render the same page and take screenshot while having an external monitor as primary screen
3. Compare the screenshots

What is the expected behavior?
The headless screenshots should not have rendering differences caused by changing the physical screen setup.

What went wrong?
The headless screenshots are rendered with different color calibration depending on the physical monitor that is configured as the primary display.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.39  Channel: beta
OS Version: OS X 10.12.6

Headless Chrome is excellent!  Thank you!

We are using headless chrome to track UI changes, and this issue makes it difficult to compare across developers and work stations.

Thanks for the report.  pfeldman@, could you please take a look, or help forward this if there's another team who works on screenshot internals?

This is because headless is implemented with a hidden window on macOS, so there are a few more dependencies to physical hardware compared to other platforms. There might be a way to turn off color calibration for the window however.

Turning off color calibration would be much appreciated.
