PLEASE HELP! Nothing I do makes OBS stream/record colors correctly, Monterey Intel 27" iMac 2020.

Hello, since day 1 of using OBS I've had color issues. At first the biggest problem was streams/recordings being desaturated. After following this guide my desaturation problem seems to be fixed: https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...contrast-issue-color-space.116986/post-528969

However, using both that method and this second method, the colors are still off! https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...reaming-wide-gamut-monitors-lut-solution.678/

These are my problems:

1. Recorded/streamed color is too yellowish, and in other ways just wrong. It looks weird.
2. The OBS previewer shows different color from BOTH whatever it is observing AND the recorded/streamed output. It's as if there are THREE different color spaces??
3. I can't seem to find a definitive answer for what the best OBS Advanced color settings are for an iMac. Right now I am using NV12, 709, and Partial. Is that the best?

Also, I am using a calibrated display profile on my iMac that I redo monthly with DisplayCAL to get the most accurate color reproduction I can. Does that have something to do with my problem?

More details on my iMac:

I am using the latest stable version of OBS and the latest stable version of Monterey.

Please help me! I just want to record/stream accurate color, yet this has so far been impossible. I COULD try to manually adjust the original.png LUT color myself to try to fix the yellowness, but I am not a colorist and it sounds like a big headache to get the color perfect since it is, as I said, just generally wrong looking.

I appreciate any help I can get. This has been a thorn in my side for TWO MONTHS!

After getting the runaround on the OBS Discord server, and doing more color experimentation in 28.0 Beta 1, all I can say is just follow this guide https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...reaming-wide-gamut-monitors-lut-solution.678/ for color that is sorta decent. Update to 28.0 Beta 1 for Window Capture Mode compatibility. If you want better color, get a Windows Machine.
