Color profiles on my new tablet make my digital paintings look washed out in Krita

I recently got a Wacom Cintiq 16 to dive deeper into digital painting using Krita on my Windows 10 PC. Everything looked great on my old non-color-calibrated monitor, but now my paintings look dull and washed out on the tablet's screen, especially the reds and blues. I've tried toggling Krita's color management settings and switching between sRGB and Adobe RGB profiles, but nothing seems to fix the issue. I also checked that Windows' color profile is set to the tablet display, but the colors still don't pop the way I want. I want my artwork to look consistent between the tablet and other devices, but right now it feels like I’m losing vibrancy in the colors when I paint directly on the Cintiq. Has anyone dealt with color profile mismatches on Wacom tablets before? What’s the best way to calibrate or configure Krita and Windows to get accurate colors? Should I be investing in a hardware color calibrator for this?
