Faded colours compared to other documents

Question

I'm working on two A4 documents, both are set to RGB blend space and sRGB colour profile. Yet one document looks more faded than the other.

Even when I paste in text boxes, or image links, from the other document... they look still look more faded.

So I know it cant be the links / text boxes themselves, what else could be causing it.

Interestingly, if I enable overprint preview then the colours look brighter / correct. However I dont have overprint preview enabled in the brighter document.

I've also made sure that Proof Colours isn't enabled

Also, if I export the PDF the colours look correct in Acrobat... but I get some kind of message to say about ICC profiles being converted during export

This problem just seemed to go away by itself in the end! No idea what was causing it, maybe restarting InDesign helped

Were both documents created with the same version of InDesign on the same computer? It sounds possible that if someone else created one of the documents that their color profiles could have been set up differently.
