Yea, colors are strange here. Would also love to use GNOME or COSIMIC. COSMIC will support that before the main release date, GNOMEs main PR looks to be this, targeting full HDR support, which coincidentally will bring correct colors for this laptop.

hi @maximmaxim345

now I could be wrong about this...
but my PopOS just came with an update to NVidia driver 555 and I am under the impression that this dealt with the color issues I had...

blacks are black and the red is no longer yelling at me...

FWIW, I had a two week break... so quite possible this is old news but figured I'd share my impression
also the GNOME PR has been merged: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3433

The main color issue stemmed from a bug in the i915 driver (Intel's kernel-mode GPU driver). I've confirmed this is resolved in the upcoming 6.11 kernel. So it is likely that PopOS (or linux) has backported this fix to an older kernel version. So IDK if the nvidia driver update solved that problem or it shipped simultaneously with a new kernel. Overall, the color problem is now solved for this laptop model (or will be once all distributions ship that bug fix or 6.11).

Additionally, I tested the HDR PR earlier (with the i915 bug fix kernel), and it now functions flawlessly on this device. So GNOME with HDR support will also work correctly once they complete remaining parts of HDR support.

Thanks for informing me, I (unfortunately) switched to Arch with a self compiled kernel for the time being. This makes me hopeful that Fedora will also soon have correct colors.
