Chrome 62 colors are washed out again, as if it was Chrome 61 with Color Correct Rendering turned on (which I kept off to fix this before)

Issue description
Chrome Version : 62.0.3202.62
OS Version: 10.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 5:
Firefox 4.x:
IE 7/8/9:
What is the expected result?
Colors look as they were originally intended to, not washed out.
What happens instead of that?
Colors are de-saturated on all profile options, there's tints to certain colors like blue, greens are not more like turquoise, reds look more orange. Basically color correct rendering being turned off in Chrome 61 fixed all of these problems.
Other notes:
I'd also like to throw in a request to add back in Color Correct Rendering's flag and have it override this new "Force Color Profile" option, because when it was off everything was fine. But now there is no possible way I can fix this so things aren't looking so horribly washed out.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Screenshots:

https://puu.sh/y12Rm/aefb89eb00.jpg - Chrome 62, forced color profile at either default or sRGB, none of the other settings did anything aside from making colors look even worse.

As this is specific to color correct rendering hence assigning to ccameron@ for inputs and help in further investigation

Please attach the following - the original image of the "OK" button from the screenshots in the bug report - the color profile that you have installed on your machine - it's likely in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color For further information about resetting your system color settings, see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jMokB_OBkZVELu22li8vnHxAUoL1eGnLedP-1Gttv40/edit?usp=sharing

Re. #3: I have read the information on the link. I have a professional wide gamut monitor which reproduces 97% of the Adobe RGB color space and stores calibration LUTs inside its hardware. I am using openSUSE Leap 42.3 and in color settings I have properly set the ICC profile which corresponds to the latest calibration. After updating from 61.0.3163.100 to 62.0.3202.75 images render correctly but interface elements (including CSS styles, favicons in bookmarks, other interface elements) are with wrong colors (compared to how they looked before). Blues look purple, greens and reds are shifted etc. I have read the recommendation in the webkit article to use CSS4 tags to support different media (wide gamut or srgb) but considering that CSS4 is not supported yet and this is meaningless and it practically means that all sites will render incorrectly until CSS4 gets full support and all the websites in the world (except perhaps the black and white ones) fix their CSS. Practically it means the whole web will render wrongly (perceptually, although technically they may be correct) for a very long time (and browser interface elements too). I wonder if there is some more intelligent approach to this.

CSS colors are sRGB by definition. It is internally inconsistent to have CSS not be color managed and have images be color managed (to do so would make it impossible for a designer to have colors match between images and CSS). If the colors are washed out for your taste, then use the instructions to assign an sRGB color profile either in Chrome or on your system.

I've tried that and it's still washed out / not looking correct. Is there really no way you could just add in an option to disable any corrections/profile?

Also as far as the earlier of needing what the original "OK" looked like. Sorry for being late with this. I also don't know how to find out what color profile is actually currently running within the folder menu, but I know I Have a lot. |
