Bug description
Colors are oversaturated (especially in screenshots) under the X11 session:
Steps to reproduce
- Take a "base" screenshot
- Screenshot that screenshot 2-3 times

Expected behavior
The color should never change (or should only change minimally due to compression), such as in the Wayland session:
Additional information
I originally had this happen to me a month or two ago, but it fixed itself after updating. Only after reinstalling and upgrading to the newest Mint version has this issue re-appeared.
