Hi @Anonymous

chose a correct view transform, if we do it in arnold render view then that affects maya render view too

Please make sure to save the image with View Transform / Color Management applied.

sorry my knowledge about this is not that match all I can tell by now is:

that depends to the screen that we use , sRGB is works fine on most screens.

if you need detail I suggest you to take a course or search for screen color space and color management in Maya.
