Windows Photo Viewer - Fix dull or off-white colours

Applies to Windows 7
On my system a number of applications would display graphics with dull colors, including Windows Photo Viewer and Firefox browser.
  • Open control panel, click on "Hardware and Sound"
  • Find color management. If it is not there under "Display" open "Start" and "Run" the following (and/or create a shortcut to Color Management): C:\Windows\System32\colorcpl.exe
  • In the dialog that appears tick the box under your monitor name which says "use my settings for this device"
  • click on the Add button
  • There will appear a list of color profiles. You want to select sRGBIEC611966-2.1 and click ok
  • Click on the set as default profile button and then close button
  • Reboot
Repeat this procedure for each monitor you may have.
