Has anyone else noticed that the colors are very saturated on the iPad Pro? Is this normal?

I got the same on my iPad Pro And my iPod Touch. I have only noticed the difference in colour in pdf files.

This article states that iPhones and iPads have trouble interpreting the colour if the colour mode of the pdf is CMYK. It seems the issue has been going on for some time and it still hasn't been fixed.

Is there any remedy to this? I do a lot of neuroimaging and colors are pertinent =[
 
Try a few alternate PDF viewers, like GoodReader. I don't know if any of them do their own color conversions, but they might.
 
This is more of an issue with how the PDF was saved than with your iPad. If the PDF was exported it in CMYK, it'll look wacky in iOS sometimes, but render fine on a Mac. For web, it should have been saved in RGB. As mentioned above, you could try opening the file in an alternate PDF viewer.
 
That's because iOS lacks any kind of color management. It reminds me of the old days when I was doing DTP work on a Windows 95 computer and all CMYK colors looked like neons on screen. That's how it is now in iOS.

And they call that device a "Pro"... :(

For more fun with colors, view this page on your iOS device and on your Mac, and compare how the photos look like.
