Image colours dull on Publish Online export

When I publish online, the images in the document all turn dull in colour and contrast, even though the graphics remain the correct colour.

All my images are sRGB, I’m publishing in JPEG format, I’ve tried adding a transparent rectangle on each page as someone suggested. Colour settings below.

What else can I do to fix this?

    Hi ​@jennyarrowsmith and everyone,

     

    Thanks for sharing the details and examples. I wanted to confirm that this is a known issue, and we already have a bug logged for the Publish Online color-management behavior.

    The product team is aware of the issue and is actively working on a fix. We appreciate everyone who has shared sample files, examples, and observations, as these are helpful for the investigation.

    We’ll keep this thread updated as soon as we have further information to share from the team.

     

    Thanks for your patience and understanding.

    Abhishek

    Hi ​@Anubhav M , In case you missed my sample InDesign file from the 2023 post showing the problem, I’ve attached it here. And below is a link to a Published On Line example where the sRGB image color does not match the InDesign sRGB color with the same values:
