About the Force color profile setting for Google Chrome

[Yang Jing]

I used DisplayCal to load ICC files on my laptop. When I opened the webpage with Google Chrome, I found that the colors of the images on all the webpages became brighter.
I can see that this is an obvious distortion. Later, I changed the “Force color profile” to “sRGB” in Google Chrome’s chrome://flags/, and the page color returned to normal.
But I use DisplayCal to load ICC files on my home desktop computer. I don’t need to change the “Force color profile” to “sRGB”, the webpage color will display normally.
What is causing such a difference?

I can’t vouch for Chrome’s color management, it seems lacking. Use Firefox if you absolutely want accurate color.
