Some operating systems don't actually do color management even if you
provide them with a profile. They only provide a way for color
management-aware applications to know what profile to use to do their color
management. A classic way to tell is to open a non-graphics related
application (file manager, word processor, etc) and compare the colors.

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
in both versions. The Eizo has the ICC-profiles internally stored andthe
switches if I change the settings.
I was astonished, that also the sRGB-version shows more vivid colours in
AdobeRGB-setting, i.e. the wide gamut is also pf advantage if renderedinto
sRGB, which surprised me.
