Hi Rick, Jeff,
To me this is one of the big disadvantages with wide gamut displays. Non
colour managed applications.
And those displays are becoming rather common
It's amazing that users in the field just get used to the oversaturated web
- but, then, have you seen how some set their TV saturation.
I have found this browser colourmanagement test illuminating:
http://cameratico.com/tools/web-browser-color-management-test/
According to that test, my version of Chrome 54.0.2840.98 (64-bit) on Mac
OSX 10.10.5* is* supporting v2 profiles but not v4.
With Eizo coloredge screens there is a solution, as the calibration process
can be set to restrict the display gamut to sRGB; which would be ideal for
non colour managed web.
Of course, for image editing, you may like to switch back to a full gamut
calibration. That's a different subject though.
I mention the Eizo solution because there *may* be a solution for your
system that allows restriction of the calibrated gamut.
In practice:
Some who work in, or advise in, the area of putting up material online feel
that if the general public may be viewing on high gamut screens without any
sophisticated colour management add-ons, then people who put stuff up
online just have to be prepared to see that happen to their carefully
crafted images and graphics.
Each image may be viewed in 2 distinct ways, high gamut and "sRGB like"
gamut.
Then there's user settings of course. Out of the box many screens are WAY
bright and "blue".
Perhaps there is some solace in the fact that the users of these *various*
screens have become accustomed to how images etc. are shown.
It's not ideal though, for sure.
It's a tough one to crack. In a world with 2 distinct types of screen and
many users who don't know what they've got, web browsers definitely need
colour management (which is ON by default), placed images need to either be
tagged, or in the absence of tags [to save space] presumed to be sRGB.
just my 2p worth
