[Julien D <julien.dubreuille_ubuntu@xxxxxxx>]

I am experimenting such a bug, and have been able to characterize it a little bit (with test profiles, to be sure)
For what I can see, it happens on a dual monitor setup.
Eye-of-Gnome (3.10.2, on trusty) is always using the ICC profile from the primary monitor (the one with the launcher), even when the window is on the secondary monitor.

This, with a version newer than the one where bug #272584 has been
fixed, seem to prove that the previous duplicate status was wrong.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 272584
   No colour conversion when image does not have embedded ICC profile

Title:
  Wrong colors displayed by eog on calibrated screens

Status in eog package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eog

  On a calibrated screen which use an ICC profile launched through
  dispwin, Eye-of-Gnome display wrong colors. Indeed it seems Eye-of-
  Gnome don't use well the ICC profile used by X.

  On contrary all other apps like gthumb, GIMP, Fspot, firefox, ...
  don't have this issue.

  According to the following dscussion EoG needs to have some metadata in the image telling that it is sRGB, however even with images containing metadata telling that it is sRGB the colors displayed are wrong.

  Thanks to anyone willing to help with this. In such state EoG is just
  unusable for photographers as it doesn't display the right colors.
