Hello, You may want to try signing up on discuss.pixls.us, which is now the recommended way to interact with the community, including the developers. https://www.darktable.org/contact/ mentions the mailing lists as 'last resort'.
Make sure all your applications are properly colour managed. darktable has a utility, darktable-cmstest, that can check your display profile. There are quite a few ways this can go wrong. You should set a display profile in your desktop environment, open a new command shell, and run darktable-cmstest. Then also check the Gimp. In Edit -> Preferences -> Color management, set 'Image display mode' to 'Color-managed display', and, just to be certain, you may want to set the 'Monitor profile' to a specific file. If everything is fine (as reported by darktable-cmstest), you shouldn't need that (note that the specified profile is only used if 'Try to use the system monitor profile' is unchecked, or if it fails to read the profile from system settings. (It might be a good idea to back up your ~/.gimp-2.8 (or whatever version you use) directory, and then reset Edit -> Preferences -> Color management settings before you try setting a new profile. There are two ways to determine the display profile; the 'X atom' and 'colord'; darktable-cmstest will check that they are set to the same value -- and that's the one Gimp should also use. Then check what profile you use for darktable export, and using which profile Gimp interprets the exported file. It's easy to sign up for discuss.pixls.us, and there you are allowed to share images (e.g. screenshots), which could make this investigation easier.
