In general, there are occasional problems with the color profile, when remoting into A GUI based Linux Distro. 

For Ubuntu all versions, delete the file org.freedesktop.color.policy file (located in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions). By deleting this file, you are basically removing the limitations of creating and managing color devices and profiles.
