SUMMARY
A pasted image into a layer looks different in color than loaded as a reference image. The pasted image in the layer looks correct like the image showed with the image preview from the OS.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
General Settings first: 
Workspace in Krita is sRGB-elle-V2-srgbtrc, my Krita display profile is set to the monitor iMac profile, for this i need to copy it into the resource folder, but this is fine for me.

1. I have a image in sRGB IEC61966-2.1
2. In the app from macOS, the image preview, this image looks the same as i pasted it in the layer in Krita, then Krita ask which profile i would like to use, and i say “web”. Now this pasted image looks the same.
3. Every imported image to krita or exported image and shown in the macOS image preview looks exactly the same now, in my opinion my color profile setup is right now!
4. If i load this image as a reference image in krita, it looks way more saturated and wrong.


OBSERVED RESULT
Krita shows the reference image in a wrong color profile.

EXPECTED RESULT
The reference image should look like the image showed in the OS or how it looks like pasted in the layer in a Krita file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 10.15.1

Hi, so this is caused by the fact we do not do any color management in the reference images (and that our UX regarding this is incomplete). I am going to mark this as confirmed, but please note that it will take a long while before this is fixed.
