Serious question, why does my color profile look perfect in Procreate but crap after I export?

I spent 5 hours last night trying to figure out why my piece looked washed out on my phone but fine on my tablet, turns out the display P3 profile on my iPad was the culprit the whole time. Switched the export preset to sRGB and it finally matched what I saw when I made it, but now I'm worried about which profile I should trust for prints. Has anyone else had this same issue with specific galleries or online portfolios, and do you just stick with sRGB to be safe?

Wait, do you actually need P3 for prints or just for your own screen? Big difference there.

Big difference is right, @blair626, unless you're secretly printing with a screen and calling it art. My whole color workflow got way more complicated once I realized my monitor was lying to me about blues. Honestly, at this point I'm half convinced I just need to calibrate my eyeballs and call it a day.
