Description postix 2024-11-16 18:18:59 UTC 
When pressing Meta + B to change the power profile to "energy saving", the output colors change: The breeze blue becomes a bright turquoise for instance.

For "balanced" and "performance" colors are fine though. Is this an upstream driver or kwin issue?
There's no relevant debug output in journalctl and dmesg.

I have not set any ICC profile.
Comment 2 postix 2024-11-16 18:21:51 UTC 
The colors do definitely always change with "energy saving", but the turquoise is visible with night light enabled fwiw.

This is something the driver does for power saving, yes. If you want to disable it, you can add amdgpu.abmlevel=0 to the kernel command line (making this off by default, and putting it under our control is in the works upstream)
