If you shoot raw, colour space in camera does not matter (raw files
record the signal values the sensor measures; it's the job of the
input colour profile to tell darktable how to interpret those
numbers).

Since that's already after the output colour transformation, your
output image may not be able to represent all colours in the image.
See https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/darkroom_bottom_panel.html#softproof
and https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/darkroom_bottom_panel.html#gamutcheck).
I guess you could set sRGB as the soft proofing & gamut-check profile
to see (an approximation of) how the picture will look in sRGB and
what's out of gamut for sRGB, respectively.

Also, have you set the display profile in Geeqie preferences?

Try some tests to see if they are properly set up, e.g.:

ICC from the Spyder.

If you're shooting raw, leave it alone. If shooting Adobe RGB JPG or
TIFF (non-raw files), you may want to explicitly set it.
