This post’s replies are a joy to read, as someone who’s been finding and reporting bugs in wide color pipelines for over a decade. You all are encountering completely bog standard normal ICC issues with eyes wide open for the first time and it’s given me a lot of hope for the next five years.

App authors and OS builders have refused for a long time to make this a priority - I’m looking at you, Slack - and now finally with both iOS and Android moving forward, I really hope it’ll be enough to finally force them all to suck it up and implement proper ICC handling.



Truly sRGB has been the best and worst thing to happen to color on computers. Unfortunately there's so much misinformation and bad implementations of color out there that I doubt end-users will ever understand or even notice problems as they come up. I'm really hoping that HDR support will be the driving force behind wide-color adoption, since consumers are more likely to notice when HDR isn't working.
