Not able to change the color profile

The colors looked a bit more saturated than usual, i had the same issue in manjaro(gnome) too but i was able to fix it by unticking the checkbox in the screenshot below but here it says that gnome color management is required but i tried installing the gnome-color-manager and it was still the same even after rebooting. I even tried installing colord-kde but still nothing. Can anyone tell me the fix?

Whats bad with a bit more saturated colors than usual?

As always, read

please
and post

as text! Even if you personally think it is unnecessary.

Maybe you need to calibrate you monitor (if possible). I have many settings in my ASUS monitor.

There is no Nvidia driver installed, but I am not an expert for Notebooks with two GPU.

It is supposed to be used to calibrate or create a custom profile. Have you used it? (I guess it may need Gnome, but maybe not…

You may get a proper profile from other OSes, if you multiboot.
Check the linked article for your options.

If your issue is not application specific, I think it might be because of GPU drivers configuration.
Look up in Intel and Nouveau archwiki topics for possible troubleshooting.

Since ICC is used from specific apps (not all), try starting relevant apps that use them and also try starting them with DRI_PRIME=1 (to use nouveau) comparing appearance.

Yeah i did install them later but nothing the NVIDIA drivers for notebooks doesn't provide this feature.

You may get a proper profile from other OSes 2, if you multiboot.
Check the linked article for your options.

Thanx for the help, I tried importing them but it said that it was already imported, but that's not the issue, i have the other ones too but i cannot install them just like it is in the screenshot above. Anyways you could get a trick to untick that checkbox please share.

Read the rest of my post.
Don't stick on what you think you need.

That BIOS is dated 2017. Is there a more recent one available?
