Hum... After a series of blind investigations, I executed darktable- cmstest (coming with darktable):
$ darktable-cmstest eDP1 the X atom and colord returned the same profile X atom: _ICC_PROFILE (23300 bytes) description: YYY colord: "YYY.icc" description: YYY HDMI1 the X atom and colord returned different profiles X atom: _ICC_PROFILE_1 (0 bytes) description: (none) colord: "XXX.icc" description: XXX Better check your system setup - some monitors reported different profiles You may experience inconsistent color rendition between color managed applications --> It looks like X atom _ICC_PROFILE_1 is not set! (and eog is trying to use it) ==> This may not be an eog Bug! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671782 Title: Wrong colors displayed by eog on calibrated screens Status in eog package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: eog On a calibrated screen which use an ICC profile launched through dispwin, Eye-of-Gnome display wrong colors. Indeed it seems Eye-of- Gnome don't use well the ICC profile used by X. On contrary all other apps like gthumb, GIMP, Fspot, firefox, ... don't have this issue. According to the following dscussion EoG needs to have some metadata in the image telling that it is sRGB, however even with images containing metadata telling that it is sRGB the colors displayed are wrong. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/eog-list/2009-March/msg00010.html Thanks to anyone willing to help with this. In such state EoG is just unusable for photographers as it doesn't display the right colors.
