Oh great, #Apple and/or #Adobe broke color rendering: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/bug-unter-mac-os-ventura-color-differences-between-gpu-and-software-rendering/td-p/13309547
No fix so far. Do NOT upgrade to macOS 13 if you haven’t already. You may also switch to CPU rendering in #Illustrator and #InDesign (Cmd-E), but for now, GPU-rendering will give you wrong, desaturated colors.
