You still need to set the icc profile in your computer’s operating system to
match the calibrated color space of your monitor. It not, you’ll will notice
exactly what you describe.
Let’s assume you have an image with an icc profile of sRGB. The image has a
pixel with a red value of 255.
Now, if your computer’s icc profile for the display is set to sRGB, the color
management system will take see that your image icc and the display icc match
and will send this 255 value over to the monitor.
Your monitor does not know what color space your image has or what color space
your color management system is set to. It just gets a value of 255 for red and
will display that value using it’s calibrated color space. And because the
monitor is set to AdobeRGB, the red 255 will be more vivid / saturated as it
should be.
If you set your computer’s display profile to AdobeRGB, the color management
system on your computer will ket the image’s red 255 an ’transform“ it into
the corresponding red value in AdobeRGB, which is 219. It your monitor now
displays this, it will look the same ‚vivid red‘ as if it’s shown in
SRGB-monitor mode with a 255 value.

Hello,
it was not oversaturated colours I was wondering about. The colours are okay
in both versions. The Eizo has the ICC-profiles internally stored and
switches if I change the settings.
I was astonished, that also the sRGB-version shows more vivid colours in the
AdobeRGB-setting, i.e. the wide gamut is also pf advantage if rendered into
sRGB, which surprised me.
