Different colors for pictures made from CMYK and RGB PDFs

We use ImageMagick as a command line tool to create thumbnails out of PDF files. This works great, but the result concerning the chromaticity is completely different when we use a RGB-PDF as the original file rather than a CMYK-PDF.

Which parameters can we set (and how) to get a consistent result?

What version of Ghostscript are you using? Perhaps an upgrade to the current version would help.

Perhaps converting from CMYK to sRGB via profiles might help.
