Wacky colours in Chrome solution 2


I previously blogged about wackly colours in Chrome being fixed by turning off hardware acceleration, which is a crap solution but I came across a new solution which allows hardware acceleration to stay on.

For example the google logo wrongly appears like this:
And should appear like this:
The solution:
1. open a new tab
2. browse to: chrome://flags/
3. search for "color"
4. set Forced color profile to sRGB
5. click relaunch

Check hardware acceleration is on:

1. open new tab
2. browse to : chrome://settings
3. click Advanced on left side menu
4. click system on left side menu
5. enable "use hardware acceleration when available"
