Chrome not properly rendering colors on wide gamut monitor

Reported by future....@gmail.com, Sep 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.91 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. View SRGB color image on any wide gamut monitor

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should, and until recently did, convert the image into the color space windows had set as the color profile, which meant that even SRGB images rendered properly on wide gamut monitors.

What went wrong?
It appears that chrome is currently ignoring the windows color profile. I'm not sure if the browser is loading the ICC profile and then not rendering to the native color space, or what exactly is going on, but its leading to serious color distortion on wide gammut monitors. I've attached an example image side by side with firefox showing propper color rendition

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes I'm not sure of the exact version, but it was working properly upon a chrome update one week ago, so the regression is within that timeframe

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.91  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

This renders chrome unusable for anyone using a wide gamut monitor for photo content creation.

Upon some additional testing it does seem that chrome is properly loading the ICC color profile as the windows snipping tool, which was used to take the included screenshot, does seem embed the current color profile. That image when viewed with Chrome does not display color distortion. That image when viewed with Windows Photo Viewer, however, displays incorrect color rendering, but this time it displays the chrome image correctly, and the firefox image as under saturated.

Adding label TE-Hardware-Dependency due to unavailability of wide gamut monitor with TE-India team.
ccing dev ccameron@ for further inputs on this issue.

This probably isn't a codecs issue but I'm hoping it can be triaged from there.

I'm also having trouble understanding c#1. Are you saying that there is not a problem? Are you saying that the image you linked is broken but if you process it with the Windows Snipping Tool it subsequently works correctly?

Could you attach your .icc profile?

There is a known bug in  issue 764352  where some more complicated ICC profiles are being crushed down to the sRGB gamut. It will be fixed in Chrome 62.
I've attached the color profile to this post. To make matters even more odd the bug seems to be intermittent now, sometimes Chrome has the proper behavior but often has incorrect color rendering.

In regards to C1: upon thinking about it later this is the behavior I would expect if chrome is improperly handling color space transition: I.e. loading the image color profile but not converting it to the machine color space.

Thanks, I've managed to reproduce this.

The bug should be fixed in Chrome 62.
