Bug Description

For some reason Ubuntu seems to change the colors of the wallpaper you apply.

If you look at this album: http://imgur.com/a/wD4sx - You can see the following:

image 1 (from the top): Ubuntu shows the image correctly when opening in image viewer (look at the orange color!)
image 2 (from the top): This is how the image looks applied. Why is it changing the colors?
image 3: (the one in bottom): Windows 10 virtualbox. Windows can figure out how to apply the colors correctly. Why can't Ubuntu.. ?

I have tested it with Xubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04 daily, Linux Mint and Ubuntu Gnome 15.10. They all have the same problem. As soon as the wallpaper is applied it changes the colors from the orange to less-orange.. It really weird.

I can't figure out what's going on. It works just fine in Windows and OSX.

Feel free to ask for more information if needed or a solution :)
