      First image is a yellow hooded jacket in full screen scrolled all the way up. The second image is the same jacket, but scrolled one tick down. The first image persists with Hardware Acceleration off.
      All colors feel cooler, like the red has been pulled back.

      Only happens with Opera GX. Firefox and Chrome have no issue.

            What brand GPU?

            With hardware acceleration on, you can play with the "" flag at the URL Choose ANGLE graphics backend. After you set the flag and restart Opera though, make sure you goto the URL opera://gpu to make sure things are accelerated. If not, the setting for the Angle flag isn't a good choice for your GPU.

              You can try messing with the "Force color profile" flag at the URL opera://flags/#force-color-profile. You can also see what disabling the "Forced Colors" flag at the URL opera://flags/#forced-colors does.

                What color profile do you have set for your display? On Windows, you can check that at "System -> Display" in settings in Windows.

                  Sadly, in attempting to fix it myself, I completely screwed my settings up, and ended up downloading old versions until I got things working back the way I wanted. (well, for the UI settings. Though it fixed the color problem, lul)
                  Well... kind of fixed. When the window is in motion the color issue happens, but once it stops, it goes back to normal.

                  EVGA graphics card... I'm pretty sure.

                  @burnout426 Only Opera GX was showing this issue. Chrome and Firefox continually displayed the proper color at all times, so wasn't a Windows setting, unless it was something specifically happening when OGX was not full screen. Even though it was, still... just rolled down one tick. shrug

                  Anyway, I can't test any solutions. I hope should anyone else encounter this issue (which searches showed it has popped up in the past), they can pick up the torch from here.
                  Thanks, friends :3
