Oddly enough, screenshots taken from 21.04 also appear washed out, but the actual display is not.
Do you mean to say that screenshots taken from 21.10 appear washed out after downgrading to 21.04? Or do screenshots taken in 21.04 appear washed out when viewing in 21.04?
What model of display or LCD panel are you using?

My apologies, I should have spoken more precisely:
A screenshot taken of 21.04 shows this washed out effect when viewed on 21.04. It is only apparent in the screenshots, but not in general usage. On 21.10, the washed out look is always present and visible.
My monitor is a Gigabyte M27Q connected over DisplayPort.

It looks like that display is HDR-capable. Do you know if you have any HDR-related settings enabled (or disabled) on the display?

The only HDR setting I see within the monitor's settings is under "System -> Other Settings -> DisplayPort Ver." with options for "1.1" or "1.2+HDR." However, I cannot actually modify this setting: it is and always has been set to "1.2.+HDR."
From reviews of the monitor online, it looks like if HDR is enabled by the OS, many other options should be greyed out and there should be some notice in the settings that it is in HDR mode, but I see no indications that it is.
I believe I've seen this before on different hardware. At that time the issue came down to the color profile not loading correctly for the monitor I was using, and I've included two possible fixes for your issue.
Go to Settings-->Color --> Disable color profile for the monitor
If neither of these suggestions fix your issue please include the washed out screenshots you took when running 21.10 they might help us diagnose the issue further.
After many reinstalls and reboots trying the possible fixes in both 21.04 (just for comparison's sake) and 21.10, I can confidently say that 21.10 still appears undersaturated and washed out in comparison to 21.04, regardless of which fixes have been applied, or if the same fixes have been applied in both versions. There may have been slight changes in the colors when removing or changing profiles, but the differences seemed subtle if they were there at all.
I have included screenshots from both versions, as well as photos showing said screenshots as viewed within their respective versions:

21.10 screenshot (colors appear identical to 21.04's screenshot):
21.10 screenshot viewed in 21.10 (looks identical to actual background):
I additionally tested both 21.04 and 21.10 on my TV (Insignia NS-43DR710CA17) over HDMI.
Here, the issue is much worse: 21.04 looks fine, but 21.10 appears extremely yellow-tinted.
However, this yellow tint goes away as soon as I adjust the refresh rate from 30 to 59.94hz.
Similar issue here. I'm using the same icc profile that I downloaded for my external monitor as 21.04 and the colors on 21.10 are very different. Reds are more "yellow" and almost looks orange, a blushed human face looks jaundiced. This is very noticeable during using pictures and watching movies.
For comparison the red fish and pacman like object on these pictures :

Movies/Pictures look better on 21.04, text is also better on 21.04. The monitor I'm using is sRGB 120%.
It appears that this is an issue with Gnome 40:
Wow, this has to be one of the weirdest bugs I've seen in a while. Can confirm that changing the refresh rate from 60 Hz to 29.93 Hz fixes the color issues.
Is there a fix? Or a way to downgrade gnome?
I have same issue after upgrade, whites are washed with red tint basically.
We may have tracked this down. It appears to be specific to monitors that provide ICC profiles. There is a change in gnome-settings-daemon that made these profiles automatically be used for the entire desktop environment. We are testing to see if reverting that change makes things work as expected.
Fixed by https://github.com/pop-os/gnome-settings-daemon/pull/12, which will be released soon
I can confirm for me this is fixed, thank you guys!
Unfortunately, GNOME has yet to accept the patch upstream, so this issue has reappeared in the beta for 22.04.
Thanks for the report!
Fixed with latest gnome-settings-daemon, will release soon
Released with https://github.com/pop-os/repo-release/pull/69. When the update to gnome-settings-daemon arrives, please reboot and retest. Comment if it is not fixed after that and I will re-open
I have same issue. POP OS 22.04, notebook samsung. Intel 10110U.

How did you upgrade to 21.10? (Fresh install / Upgrade) Both (multiple attempts to resolve issue). Upgrading from 21.04.
Issue/Bug Description: Colors throughout the system appear under saturated, washed out. Extremely noticeable and distracting to the point of forcing me to reinstall 21.04. Oddly enough, screenshots taken from 21.04 also appear washed out, but the actual display is not. The only immediate difference I can se in the Nvidia X Server Settings is the "Server Vendor Version," which is 1.20.11 (12011000) on 21.04, and 1.20.13 (12013000) on 21.10.
