Color calibration issue after upgrade

Yesterday I updated the system and after restart I notice that all grays are being displayed red-shifted.

It happens system-wide not just in some apps.

I’m using Manjaro GNOME and Xorg (no wayland).

Please see

Hey,

For the pinkish tint you can check Settings > Color and then turn off/change the color profile for your monitor(s).

Hi @CyberOto.

I simply removed the color profile (which I don’t remember adding before) and restarted and the colors were fixed. Thanks.
