RE: Getting Full Color Management from Chrome + Wide Gamut Monitor (Mac) ??
Setting up two profiles to switch between in SpectraView (one calibrated for sRGB emulation, the other calibrated for full gamut) manages the excess saturation in Chrome (when set to the sRGB Emulation profile), but the hues of web colors (particularly blues, such as the Facebook blue) look distinctly different compared to Firefox with [gfx.color_management.enablev4=true] and [gfx.color_management.mode=1] in about:config. The Chrome blue is distinctly more greenish, though images are a closer-but-not-perfect match.

Having hung onto Firefox for as long as I could stand the crappy performance and stalls, I'm now throwing in the towel and trying Chrome as my default browser.
It seems as though Chrome (or Safari) will color manage tagged images, but not untagged images or web colors, where I would prefer that they be treated as having an assumed sRGB profile. So far, I haven't found any advanced setting or plug-in to facilitate that behavior.
Is anyone here aware of a better approach that won't oversaturate unprofiled color on my wide-gamut monitor?
It's hard for me to believe there's not some way to do this at this point.
I assume there's also no way by which the throughput of a given application could be managed at the system level through an additional color transform to do the trick.
I'm running OS 10.6.8.

FWIW, the monitor I have is the NEC LCD3090WQXi. I see, in a forum at <http://hardforum.com/archive/index.php/t-1478976.html>, that this monitor is described as a "classical pre-3D LUT wide gamut monitor," and that its limitation is that the RGB chromaticities can't be arbitrarily set. Does that jibe? Rick Gordon ------------------ On 4/4/14 at 2:26 AM -0700, Rick Gordon wrote in a message entitled "Re: Getting Full Color Management from Chrome + Wide Gamut ":
