User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 SeaMonkey/2.16.2
Build ID: 20130310201055

Steps to reproduce:

Images rendered by Seamonkey sometimes show ugly banding.

See the example with a comparison of Seamonkey and IE:
- left: Seamonkey 2.16.2
- right: IE10
- look at the left part of the woman's face

I've seen the issue for a while now. I first attributed it to drivers or OS, but it didn't change at all after I upgraded from Win7/32bit to Win8/64bit.

Problem gone after setting gfx.color_management.mode to 0

In that case your monitor color profile profile seems to be wrong.
IE10 doesn't do color correction as far as I could see after s short google search.
