So embedding the color space into the image file ?
I do that all the time, but understood that the only viewing/editing
software featuring Color Management and able to use the embedded color
spaces is Photoshop and perhaps a very few others, while the most common
things (like ACDs and Windows viewer) cannot benefit from this feature which
is the reason of image appearance varying among every other system.

As I recall, sRGB was largely based on NTSC gamut, which is indeed pretty
"cheap" compared to what good monitors are capable of displaying.  sRGB was
sort of a lowest common denominator.

You don't have to convert it, but you should prepare it in an identified
color space and store that information in the archived image, so that anyone
retrieving it later can get the colors as you left them.
