Colors washed out after 1.31 upgrade

[dan-hughes]

Since the 1.31 release all the colors have a yellow hue to them. When I downgrade to 1.30 this issue goes away. I have updated GPU drivers and run with the --disable-gpu flag without any success.

I installed the insiders 1.32 build and the issue is still occurring, but the 1.31 exploration build #68893 does not have this issue.

Image comparison below.

1.31.1

1.30.2

@bpasero dupe of #68893?

[bpasero]

Yeah could be.

We are building exploration builds that use a much newer version of our UI framework (Electron version 4.0.x). I wonder if this issue reproduces with one of these builds, could you try? Download:

Doesn't occur on the exploration build (I had already checked and mentioned above).

This does not happen on my other PC, so this could be something around my hardware.

Same issue on ubuntu

[bpasero]

We will ship with Electron 4 with our upcoming release 1.36 this week. As such I am closing this issue. To benefit from the update already today, consider to use our insiders version: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/

Not sure if it's the same problem, but after 1.36 colors are a bit off. I'm using Ubuntu 19.04.

Using --force-color-profile=srgb makes no difference.

Turning off HDR on my primary monitor fixed the washed out colors (even though I was using VSCode on a secondary monitor). I'm on VSCode 1.36.1

@bpasero this issue is still occuring in version 1.36.1 it looks like when you enable HDR vscode becomes washed out, can we reopen this issue?

[bpasero]

Got it. See #65816 for the related issue to allow to force the color profile as a setting (not having to pass it as command line argument).

People hitting this, can also please try out our new exploration builds with Electron 6:
