+Colby Brown I'm still confused about the Chrome color management issue.
I've got the latest version, Version 24.0.1290.1 dev on OS X Mountain Lion on Macbook Air profiled with ColorMunki Photo.
This pic was edited in Lightroom 4, exported to sRGB and uploaded.
In Safari, it looks just like my Lightroom version… in Chrome, it is clearly desaturated.
Any thoughts?

I did a comparison side by side and saw no difference.

+Brad Thompson That's really weird…I've shut down the system for the night, but I'll do a screen cap in the AM to show what I'm seeing.

+Brad Thompson Ok, I did screen captures of the images from Lightbox view in both Chrome and Safari. The original and screenshots are linked in this post:

Mystery finally solved! Color management is a complicated topic… So, Chrome does support local monitor profiles (I profile my display using the ColorMunki Photo), however, I just found that it only supports 'v2' ICC profiles, and my ColorMunki was calibrating my display creating 'v4' ICC profiles… Lightroom & PS and Firefox were all quite happy, but Chrome just wasn't making pictures pretty.
I don't fully grasp the advantages of v4 over v2, but I may do my photo browsing with Firefox for a while (though I do love Chrome so much!).
