Black screen after setting Color accuracy: Prefer color accuracy when refresh rate is 100Hz

This has been happening since the beginning of using linux on my desktop. I have an MSI MP223 E2 monitor. when i set the color accuracy settings to prefer color accuracy while also setting my refresh rate to 100Hz**, KDE** just black screens. I had to login as root and delete my .config .cache and .local directories to get back in to the desktop as my user**.**

Before this black screen used to happen when I set my refresh rate to 100Hz both in KDE and Gnome Wayland sessions but never in Xorg sessions**. I could only go as high as 85 Hz.**

But if i set my refresh rate to 85Hz and set "Color accuracy: Prefer color accuracy" the screen does not go black.

Currently I am in CachyOS but this problem happens in other distros too.
