taming the color saturation in a MBP led screen - mrbigstuff - 08-02-2009

I'm happy as a clam with the new MBP but the blue text saturation (think Craigslist) is driving me nuts. Other than changing the color profile of the whole display is there a way to dial down the blue or cyan?

thanks

Other than make the profile a bit warmer, I don't see how you can tone down just the one color very easily. However, you can use the ColorSync utility to manually change the white-point for your profile. It woud be easier to just adjust the profile using System Preferences.

its much more likely that your display is set too bright than its over saturated. the apple defaults are pretty good.

When my brother bought his Glossy iMac, he was disappointed with the color "It's like a PC!" I sat next to him while he ran Colorsync (his Mac, his eyes) advanced mode. A few minutes later, he was "wow, that really pops!"
It does shift colors, but he's no photo pro.
