How do I reduce excessive website color saturation?
Hi folks, On my new MacBook Pro the color saturation of websites appears excessive. I've attached a screenshot comparing the color reproduction of Firefox (on left) vs. Safari (on right). If you compare the "3-D Cease Fire" and "Beauty and the Beast" blu-ray case images, you'll easily see that the color saturation on Firefox is excessive. Similarly, the "Best Blu-ray Movie Deals" button is too saturated. I notice the phenomenon on almost all websites.
I've tried playing around with the various gfx.color options to no avail so far. Maybe I haven't hit the right combination.
Thank you!
Best, Joel

Here is the screenshot:
I don't know if this will help; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show
Hey Fred, Thanks for the article. Unfortunately, it does not directly address my issue as I do not have a problem viewing images; rather, the images just appear too saturated (I did try everything mentioned in the article that made sense like clearing the cache, etc.). I've attached another screenshot from the W3School HTML Color Picker that should make the issue very obvious (Firefox on left and Safari on right).
I called for more help.
This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images. Try to disable color management to test if it is caused by a problem with color management. You can set the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management. You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective. See:
0: Disable color management. 1: Enable color management for rendered graphics. 2: Enable color management for tagged graphics only. (Default)
I changed gfx.color_management.mode from 2 to 0 and restarted Firefox. The problem, however, remains unresolved. The #ff0000 color on W3's HTML Color Picker is still over-saturated.

I was able to reproduce the same color saturation discrepancy between Firefox and Safari on an iMac Retina 5k, 27-inch, 2017.
