Color Accuracy issues

Reported by ge...@geoffarmstrong.com, Dec 5 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
color.adobe.com

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to color.adobe.com
2. Enter a RGB color value of 255, 78, 0
3. Take a screenshot, in a graphics program use a eyedropper on the configured color.  It reports a RGB of 218, 95, 8.

What is the expected behavior?
All three browsers should be displaying the same color.

What went wrong?
In Edge and Firefox, the RGB value from the screenshot is correct (255, 78, 0).  The RGB color in Chrome is incorrect (218, 95, 8).  I first noticed this because arstechnica.com looked very different in Chrome vs Edge or Firefox.  Note the color of the Ars Technica logo in the attached screenshot.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

I primarily use Chrome to browse the Internet, but noticed that colors on web pages (e.g. arstechnica.com) were quite different when using other browsers.  I did some testing and discovered that other browsers were displaying colors correctly, and that Chrome was wrong.  I also downloaded Chrome Canary (version 65) and reproduced the issue using it.

Chrome respects the color profile installed on the system -- the following document discusses the background of your issue and gives a few solutions:
