Am I crazy or has youtube changed today ?

I feel like colors suddenly became more punchy and saturated. Is it just me ?

your browser could be updated, coz they add some config flags and adjust it from ver to ver

last changes is about colorspaces - wide, bt2020, sRGB etc

nope, the only change I noticed 2 weeks ago is new interface, which was cancelled in next few days

Ok, I noticed the change this morning (in europe). Overall, colors, especially thumbnails are much more punchy and reddish, whis this "funny cartoonish" vibe.

And as I am allergic to saturated colors, it's quite annoying for me since I used youtube daily. But now, I just can't. Saturated colors mess up with my brain quite badly.

I don't go on YouTube much. If you're not already doing it, turn on colour management in your browser. For Chrome it's the force color profile flag, you can set it to srgb. For Firefox it's gfx.color_management.mode set to 1.

Just tried but it doesn't seem to change anything for youtube. I think it's just the website increasing the saturation. It's visible in the thumbnails, but once you play the video, it looks normal, no more oversaturation.
