Well, when you're into smartphone photography, having sRGB mode is a godsend as you can accurately tell how a photo would look like to those with LCD screens and computer monitors. The stock color config is just overblown.
sRGB Mode [Opinions]

That's pretty much what I said or meant by photoshop or snapseed. :cyclops:
The colors are nicer in sRGB mode but I still feel like the whites are too yellow, even the Anandtech review mentions it.

It should be fixable with custom kernels though.
sRGB - white is yellowish
stock - white is blueish
So choose your destiny Both are not perfect, but sRGB is closer to natural and white is closer to yellow than blue in this spectrum.
Don't forget that both modes needs a proper display calibration to show colors correctly. So even if we have sRGB now, the colors MAY NOT be calibrated like a 6p or a Samsung even if they have the same option and user can toggle them on.

For those of you bitching about the yellowish tint, READ.
Reboot after you enable it. FFS.

If you still have a strong yellow tint, something is wrong. If things still look a little odd, it's your eyes adjusting, give it a few days.

I was one of those that didn't like sRGB.
I challenge you to try it out for a week and then change back to normal mode. Once I got used to sRGB, I could never go back to the oversaturated normal mode.

Tried sRGB for about 5 days, switched back today, now I like to look at my display again...
It's a matter of taste I guess, but I don't like sRGB even after 5 days...
Same here.. Love the sRGB mode..
Now, I know that the colors are washed out a bit, but it is very pleasant to look at.
At least better than the blue in the RGB mode..

And they're not really washed out. Have a watch of this video; the colours are spot on:

It's in french but the probe result speak by itself, DeltaE = 1.8 while it's 5.7 without sRGB mode. The higher the value, the most different from the original color the screen is.
For the people that think it's too yellow, it's because light at your home is most likely a white fluorescent tube (CRI is bad on them)

I also dont like sRGB mode but if u want to protect your eyes than enable it it is like a light night mode. It add yellowish tone to all colour...:angel:
IMO, a sRGB mode with slightly more bright colors would be perfect. Not too vivid, not too pale, not too yellow, not too blue.
Just my two cents: sRGB is awesome. Seriously, **disable** sRGB then get a few different devices, like an iPad and a LCD monitor. Then open a completely white page and see how your definition of what "white" should be will be completely confused.
I have a Surface Pro 4, which has a very good high-res screen, and the whites there are completely different from the whites on the OP3 without sRGB (supposedly the pure vivid colors), which are also completely different from an iPad Air...
Still, enable sRGB, then look at pictures. Photos. Photos of people and landscapes. It seriously looks much, MUCH more natural than with sRGB disabled.
Just consider this: maybe, just maybe, without sRGB, those colors are off. Maybe, just maybe, WITH sRGB, you're getting the real deal. I'm leaving it on, photos look awesome, and after getting used to it, everything starts to look just normal.
