System Information
Operating system: Win 10

Blender Version
Broken: blender-2.90.0-613d314251f3-windows64
Worked: Dunno..

Short description of error
This is something I found when loading vertex colors made in an external application (zbrush) into blender's sculpt vertex colors.
When I convert the regular vertex colors into sculpt vertex colors, the colors shows up washed out...
Simple example below:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Load the following sphere fbx file. File/Import/FBX (it contains vertex colors created in zbrush)... The model might show up very tiny, so you may need to frame the model to see it. View/Frame Selected
PolySphere.fbx
Select the model and go to Vertex Paint mode. This is how it the colors look like (in flat shading), no issues...

Now go to Sculpt mode
Switch the color type to Vertex, in the shading popover

In the Object Data properties tab, add a Sculpt Vertex Color layer, and then click on the "Load Sculpt Vertex Color" button, to load/convert the regular vertex colors into sculpt vertex colors

And this is how it loads the colors (washed out)

I don't now if it's a bug/limitation or if there's something else that needs to be done to make it work as expected... So yeah..

I'm willing to bet this is a color-space issue. Do you know if ZBrush applies SRGB color space to the vertex colors, or is it displayed in a linear color space?

hmm… I can`t convert colors properly with linear ←→ sRGB operations.
Did I make mistake, or there is some more conversions?
Really tired to wait fix and want to make node
