Hello, I had the same problem on BigSur, and now on Monterey. When running not M1 native apps (like Steam, Citrix Workspace, Anaconda... and others downloaded not via AppStore) which uses Rosseta 2 for emulation something makes colors in these apps not real and very vivid on a MacBook Air M1. When I run other native M1 apps I don't find such a problem, colors are ok. It's like some incompatibility with color spaces. I think that when I run soft via Rossetta 2 it forces apps to run sRGB color space, but the screen of my Mac is P3 gamut (which is greater). Does anybody have the same problem and can I solve it? All the issues are with apps coded for intel and downloaded via browser.

I added a picture, where on the left you can see how it should be (native M1 app) and on the right how it looks running via Rosetta 2.
