I've got the same problem. Everything is showing with blue tint.

I followed the instructions above and ran "$ xprop -root | grep ICC_PROFILE" and it indeed had a profile.

Looking at System Settings > Device Colour Profiles; both my monitors had a profile each. I used the remove option. Re-running the command above showed no profile and just returned the prompt.

I restarted eog and still all the pictures come out with blueish tint. All other image viewing software are fine. Why are they ok and not the built in viewer?

Please get this fixed as it is embarrassing for Ubuntu for such a trivial use-case for the vast majority of Desktop users. Photos and files and them uploading those to Facebook, Instagram, etc is a daily social networking task. If anything this should be higher priority and not a 4year old low priority!
