Color anomaly for UI sprites on Apple devices

Triomatica

Hello Chris,

AC 1.79.3
Unity 2022.3.12f1

We are working on some new project and faced the problem we never saw before.

All sprites which are used in UI, like main menu background, inventory items, documents look desaturated, but only on Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad) and look absolutely normal on other devices (Windows, Linux, Android).

Please see the screenshots of main menu on Mac (desaturated) and Windows (normal) here:

Do you know what may cause this issue?

We have tried different sprites import settings, different AC and Unity versions, this make no difference.

Please advise.

Best regards,
Pavlo

UPD: to fix the issue you need to change the following setting

Edit > Project Settings > Player > Other Settings > Color Space

to Gamma

For some reason Unity changed the default value of this setting in Unity 2022 to Linear, this causes problems on Apple devices, as they work only in Gamma color space.
