      I got a wide gamut 120% sRGB monitor, and when using the supposed settings ICC profile (Opera is color managed), the sidebar of Opera GX is not very red, not as red as the YouTube logo. It's like a soft red. Is this how it's supposed to be, maybe did the the manufacturer make a poor ICC profile?
      On another monitor, which is 98% sRGB, the sidebar is deep red.

        There's a flag at the URL opera://flags/#force-color-profile that you can play with. Not sure if it'll help.

        There's also opera://flags/#forced-colors.

          @burnout426 I know, it's the same is if I use the default sRGB color profile in Windows, which theoretically should give me inaccurate/ocersaturated colors, since the monitor is wide gamut. Maybe I'm used to it?

          Is that difference between the sidebar and the YouTube logo intended?

            Yes, in that they're not the same color/shade, so they shouldn't look the same.

              The side bar looks very soft to me... Maybe I was really used to more saturated colors on my other monitor.
              If I change the ICC profile to sRGB, it looks like this:

                @david27 For me, the red has always looked kind of pinkish (like a neon pink, almost, but not quite). The color in your pic looks a little brighter pink than on my screen, but pretty close to what I see. But, I personally don't know what's technically correct/accurate and what isn't.

                  @burnout426 Same here.
                  Yeah the first pick is too bright... The ICC profile is probably bad.
