Especially visible on webpages. Same with Firefox and Chromium. Grays are too bright in comparison with other colors (reds, greens, blues). Sometimes I cannot see buttons and borders when they are made with light-gray color. Problem exist only with Linux on my monitor Benq EW2775ZH and Nvidia card (1050Ti). Problem not appears:
- on Windows
- on Intel iGPU on Lniux
- on different monitor on Linux and Nvidia
I’m using manjaro linux but I have tried other live distros and problem exit too

I added log file to my first post.
All settings look normal. Did you check if your DE loads the wrong color profile or change it?
I don’t think it’s DE relevant problem because I have tried different live distros with different DEs. Always the same effect. It’s very strange problem because only shades of gray are affected and other colors are properly displayed. When I change monitor or card to iGPU problem disappears.
Nevertheless, did you check if different color profiles are being used?
Yes indeed it was faulty default icc profile. I found this blog: https://fatminmin.com/blog/benq-ew2755zh-icc-profile.html
and used new icc profile. Now colors look better. Thank you for the idea. Problem solved.
You should report that to freedesktop.org or your ditro’s bug-tracker so other users don’t run into the same problem in future.
