P: Library zoomed view shows wrong color

When zooming into an image in library mode, the color changes suddenly and differs from all the consistent colours shown in develop mode or library mode (fit image). I just updated to LR10.1 and appreciated other fixed bugs. I am using an external BenQ display calibrated to AdobeRGB profile using xrite. The images have Adobe profiles (AdobeVivid) applied.

What a strange fantasy that Apple update will fix a bug in LR! Its your field Adobe. Big Sur 11.2, latest LR Classic - the bug is still there alright.

Thanks, Rikk

I tested this and doesn't work for me.

Apple released an update to Big Sur (11.2) which may affect this issue.  Verify you have installed the Big Sur update and that you are running Lightroom Classic 10.1.1 (Help>System Info…). 

After you have verified you've installed both updates, restart your computer from a complete power off, review this issue, and see if it is still occurring.  Please report back here to verify you no longer see or continue to experience this issue. 

Thanks!

Still no fix with yesterday's updates

Similar thing happening here, but slightly different. Library grid view shows photos slightly less saturated than when previewing in Loupe view in the Develop module. Impossible to keep my photos consistent when editing and displaying show two completely different levels of colors.

Same issue/bug here.  Very disruptive to work flow.  Hope Adobe reads this forum and has fix for next update.

I'm on Desktop Mac 2020 (not M1 chip).  Running Big Sur latest release.  

Came here because the color disparity completely disrupts work flow.  Was trying to compare photos to see how Lightroom, Luminar AI and Topaz Sharpen Ai all handle sharpening on a single photo and zooming in it blows out the color.  Displeasing.

I have having major shifts when zooming in ,in the library module. All seems ok till I get to about 70% on the slider and then it looks like I'm looking at an aRGB image in a non color managed environment. This is a bug for sure. MacbookPro 15 2018  Big Sur 

I have built new profiles for my Dell monitor but it has not helped. I also noticed that the color changes when I move the image from the Dell to my MBP screen and then back again - it's like it gets unstuck! Weird

Witnessing this as well. Library view renders some images as if they have been desaturated. When changing from Develop to Library view with the 'G' key, you can see the image in grid view rendered correctly at first and them switch to a desaturated look. Makes it impossible to trust color balancing across multiple images -- a critical function for the Library view.  Resizing the Lightroom window causes some images to re-render with correct colors, but others change to looking flat as resizing occurs. No reliable way to enforce correct color rendition in the Library module as far as I can find. This is happening in Big Sur 11.1 with Lightroom 10.1.1.

@valentino_zegna_baruffa The print module was never properly color managed, ignore it. It's only useful for FPO.
