Screen colors not the same as in Windows

Hi,

I have recently bought an XPS 15 9500 and I immediately installed Arch on it but I have been dealing with color issues with the screen ever since.
They are very different on Linux and on windows and nothing that I could think of solved the problem. In Windows, the color are great but in Linux they seem a little oversaturated and the white balance is off (I can kinda fix it with redshift by setting it to 7000K but this solution doesn't seem like the right one). I have tried applying many different icc profiles both found on windows (in the dell color management software files) and on the internet but nothing fixed the issue. I think that Windows might be doing some magic with the display but I couldn't figure out what.

Do anyone have an idea of what is going on and how to fix the issue ?
