Images are too dark and saturated in Image Viewer

Question

Colors are coming up too dark and saturated in Image Viewer and in Whatsdesk, but look good in Shotwell, in browsers and other applications.

Here is the same image shown in Image Viewer and Shotwell for comparison:

How to fix this?

What I have already tried:

Looks like issue with either your display color profile or image viewer does not recognize the color space of the image (e.g. Adobe RGB). Does it happen with all images or just some? — pLumo, Commented May 7, 2020 at 15:26
@pLumo it happens with all images(i tried many jpg, png etc.) when opened in image viewer but not in shotwell. — Manik, Commented May 7, 2020 at 17:42
