File-Explorer that can display Readme.md files.

Photoshop shows different colors and my gradients are ruined, all of this happened overnight. But everywhere else, the file preview's colors are correct. Do you know any reason? Is this related to the Pantone thing?
Why does the Quicklook app show the correct colors and photoshop doesn't?
