Well, I wouldn't exclude eog as the culprit, but for now it looks like an issue with the active display profile which appear to be autogenerated by g-c-m. So the g-c-m people should at least be queried for input on what could be wrong here (maybe it's just a simple fault). But considering that the first report is about eog-3.2 it could also be a problem with lcms2 (which is used since that version) too.

One can do another test to be more certain. Open an affected image in GIMP. Make sure that in Edit->Preferences->Color Management "Try to use the system monitor profile" is checked and "Mode of operation" is set to "Color managed display". If you see the same off colors it's most likely a problem with the profile or with lcms2 (assuming GIMP uses it correctly).
