All browsers, just stick to the normal sRGB, if XD is allowed to use that gamut instead of the mac's gamut then it would be great. to do a quick test, see the color difference between the retina and an external monitor such as a dell or lg for instance, the color instantly changes to what all browsers show because the profile used in an external monitor uses a different more universal gamut. XD should not use the native color space, it should use a common sRGB gamut like all browsers.
I use an ultra sharp dell wide monitor and as soon as XD is placed in that screen, the colors are exactly the same as in any browser.

The main issue is not XD itself, the problem is that browsers are not color managed, Chrome for instance does not use an ICC profile, which macs do use and XD uses the native architecture. The solution I can think of is to allow XD to be able to toggle on or off using native ICC from any system. I am no engineer of course, but I do believe that would help. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only color-managed browser is Firefox, which, if you use firefox and color manage it, you get a bunch of weird results.
One last thing, Sketch is not color-managed, actually there is no UI/UX software that is actually color-managed. It doesn't need to be unless all browsers go in that direction, then the software needs to be able to match.

Here's a simple test, on the left is XD and on the is chrome, the colors are exactly 100% the same using the same monitor. If I put XD on the retina XD uses that gamut and so the color changes a bit. Maybe the XD engineering team didn't catch this, but the solution should be a pretty simple one because trying to color-manage XD or Sketch or Figma or any other tools of like would be a pretty monstrous task.
