Daniel Tudosiu got a reaction from Blende21 in Colors are more saturated in Affinity than in Photoshop
When I referred to Windows Photo Viewer I meant the old one (not the App), but upon further digging between when I posted the reply and now I found out that even that one is not perfect, so I ended up with digiKam's Showfoto app as a previewer which, after some testing, seems to be colour managed.
There is no need, as after I exported in sRGB with AP and viewed in digiKam's Showfoto, the colors are rendered properly. At the end of the day I was using an unmanaged photo preview-ing app.

Daniel Tudosiu reacted to rcooper102 in Affinity Photo main editor window colors are incorrect. (and inconsistent with navigator)
Update, Daniel's fix seems to have improved things by quite a bit. There is still a difference between the navigator and the main window but it is close to negligible now. For example in my test I filled with main window with rgb: 235, 67, 40 and the navigator preview is rgb: 235, 67, 38. I am assuming this is just a byproduct of the compression on the navigator image as it is so tiny that it is no longer visibly different. I'd consider this issue solved. Albeit I am still miffed as to why the display's color profile impacts the main window but not the navigator. I had assumed early on that if the issue was display color profile related that it would universally impact everything.
Big thanks to Daniel for figuring this out. You deserve many cookies.

@rcooper102 I solved my issue.
I observed that in Windows -> Settings -> System -> Display -> Color Profile there was a weird code (14CC). On further inspection in Control Panel -> Color Management -> ICC Profiles I was unable to find sRGB or AdobeRGB, so I looked in all profiles and I found sRGB IEC61966-2.1 which is the sRGB standard. Then I added it. Afterwards it appears in Windows -> Settings -> System -> Display -> Color Profile and I changed it there as well.
After I restarted Affinity Photo the image that I exported and the one that I saw in an image viewer are identical.
Now, I also ordered an SpyderX Elite Monitor Calibration from Amazon.de where it is heavily discounted for Datacolor's 50 year anniversary (I am not posting links cuz I am not sure about the forum rules). I am to calibrate my monitor and create an ICC profile for it to import in in Afinity Photo.
