Broken colors on launch with srgb on hdr monitor

[Username404-59]

With my config:

monitorv2 {
  output = eDP-1
  mode = 2880x1800@120
  position = 0x0
  scale = 1.5
  cm = srgb #hdredid
  bitdepth = 10
  min_luminance = 0.0
  max_luminance = 2000
  sdr_min_luminance = 0.005
  sdr_max_luminance = 350
  #sdrsaturation = 1.175
  #sdrbrightness = 0.975
}

Colors look oversaturated when I launch hyprland
If I replace srgb with hdredid, they're not anymore but the colors look greyish
If I replace it back with srgb after that, for some reason the colors are fixed (although brightness is lowered)

I am guessing its cuz ur on high bit depth monitor mode but forcing srgb. Either try cm = wide or cm = edid with bitdepth = 10, or lower bitdepth to 8 with srgb

And check your monitor settings too, it may have a switch in the settings - you prob want to set that to srgb if you do indeed want to use srgb

Forgot to mention I'm on a laptop; there's no screen settings (its name is SDC419F)

neither wide or edid with bitdepth=10 helped (they did the same thing as srgb)

I'll put srgb + bitdepth=8 and report back next time I reboot

Yep it didn't fix the issue

:( sad... but how do u know the colours are oversaturated btw? I mean is it possible that they're normal in bitdepth 8 srgb mode and that hdr just undersaturates them (which is normal)?

cm = setting should match your monitor internal settings and capabilities. cm = wide is the largest colorspace setting and will look washed out on monitors that can't cover bt2020. srgb is the smallest colorspace and will look oversaturated on most monitors unless you set them to use srgb colorspace. Most monitors have an auto setting for colorspace but it rarely works as intended. Some monitors do not use names like srgb or bt709 and use native, normal or some other vague name instead.
If cm = edid doesn't work for you try *p3 or adobe https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Monitors/#color-management-presets

I guess this might be my issue with hdr

EDIT: While tinkering with settings I found that for some reason, cm_sdr_eotf = 1 or 2 helps

So maybe the monitor was setting itself to srgb mode on modeset which would explain why editing the config fixes it? idk
