Why does pygame icon change color?

I'm making a Minesweeper in pygame but when I set the icon it changes the color. The icon that I get is bluer than the expected icon and I don't understand why. Here's the code that I use:

Actual Icon actual icon

Expected Icon expected icon

import pygame as pg

pg.init()
window = pg.display.set_mode(size)

icon = pg.image.load("icon.png")
pg.display.set_icon(icon)
pg.display.set_caption("Minesweeper")

I tried to use icon = pg.image.load("icon.png").convert() and icon = pg.image.load("icon.png").convert_alpha() but it doesn't work.

Do you know why it does this and how to fix it?

It looks like your PNG file has some embedded information or formatting that is causing this distortion. I saved the image as a bitmap bitmap icon using paint.net and it displays without modification:

Perhaps some conversion commands could transform your image as desired, but it's probably easier to do the image manipulation outside of pygame.
