Linear color space on Daydream looks much darker than editor

    I am attempting to build a daydream vr application and would like to work in linear color space. Unfortunately, the build output is much much darker than what is displayed in the editor, and what I would expect. Even the Unity splash logo is appearing against a black background instead of the gray background. If I switch to "gamma" color space the editor and build output appear as expected. Is this a known issue? Is there something obvious I'm missing?

    Developing on OSX
    Unity 2017.1
    Phone = Pixel XL
    Using the Mobile diffuse shader (same issue with appears with standard shader)
    Enlighten baked maps (same issue appears with realtime global illumination)

    Note there already seems to be a bug report for this, but it is marked as "Won't Fix", but there is no comment as to why...

    That particular issue was identified as a driver bug. I'll ask around and see if there is any known issue on daydream regarding linear lighting.

    Linear colorspace is currently unsupported by GVR. We are working on adding support for this to GVR and Unity+Daydream.
