%%%GP Layer color (GPencilLayer.color) in UI properly matches Color Management switch (render.use_color_management). However viewport color of GP Layers seems to remain in sRGB regardless of CM switch state.

%%%Grease pencil is an interface feature, its color is not rendered (this is more like a theme color then a material color).

Can you explain in what case you would expect this color conversion to be done? - whats the use case?

Otherwise this report can be closed.%%%

%%%It could be OpenGL rendered, but even if it is never rendered it is an interface disparity.
The user should expect to see the grease pencil color match the UI color selector. Theme colors are not rendered, but there is no disparity between the color selector and the color seen in use regardless of color management state. If the grease pencil color is UI only, then it should match theme color behavior and never be color managed.

I fully agree that this is not a deal breaker and mostly polish, but it is still a bug. Maybe it could be de-prioritized instead.%%%

%%%Just in case i misunderstood your question;

I'm not saying the grease pencil should (or should not) be color managed.
The only point of this report is that the UI color selector for a GP layer currently is color managed, but not the GP in viewport.
This color disparity is the bug.

A fix could simply be to disable color management for the UI color selector in grease pencil layers%%%
