Colors are encoded weirdly

Doriphor

I'm getting some serious issues with colors. I hadn't noticed them until now, but the colors feel awfully off. For example, compare

the color you see in your web browser when you search for RGB 140 20 20
the color that displays on-screen when you do

vector color
color.r = 140/255
color.g = 20/255
color.b = 20/255
color.a = 1.0
circle(100, 100, 100, 100, color, 0}
update()
loop
repeat

And no this isn't due to the monitor or TV since it also displays weird on the Switch's screen.

It's almost as if the color scale is linear instead of gamma-encoded.

Sure enough, if you gamma-encode the color before displaying it, it shows up properly

vector color
color.r = pow(140/255, 2.2)
color.g = pow(20/255, 2.2)
color.b = pow(20/255, 2.2)
color.a = 1.0
circle(100, 100, 100, 100, color, 0}
update() 
loop
repeat

Can anybody provide some help with this? I mean I could write a helper function to encode all the colors on the fly but that would be annoying and this does seem to be a bug...

Sorry in advance if I misused some of the technical terms by the way :)

@pianofire oh so that's the intended behavior? That's a very odd choice IMO. Thank you!
