Sometimes on Windows 11, your computer shows considerably warm colors and in most cases, it could be that the display hasn’t been properly calibrated.
In the case of an external display, with the use of built-in controls, you can adjust the red, green, and blue colors until you arrive at a cooler color level but some PCs don’t usually have display controls. However, Windows 11’s calibration tool lets you reduce the amount of red and green colors to fix the warm colors on the screen.
The Display Color Calibration tool has been available for a long time. It’s a simple guided tool that allows for correcting the gamma, brightness, contrast, and primary colors (red, green, and blue) settings to improve the viewing experience.
If you are also facing warm colors issues over your display then we got you covered. in this guide, we will show how to address the issue of significant warm colors on your Windows 11 computer’s display.
Here is how to calibrate the display to fix warm colors on Windows 11
Before we start using the calibration tool, open Settings > System > Display and confirm that the Night light feature is disabled because this could also be the reason for the warm colors on the screen.
On Windows 10 and Windows 11, the Night light feature gently reduces the monitor’s blue tones, giving the screen a warmer look which can reduce some of the symptoms that contribute to the feeling of eye strain, especially when using a device for extended hours.
- Open Start on Windows 11 > search for Calibrate Display Color > click the top result to open.
- Click the Next button > click the Next button again.
- Use the slider to change the gamma setting until the dots are barely visible.
- Click the Next button > click the Next button again > click the Next button one more time.
- Use the display controls to increase or lower the brightness until you pick out the elements of the photo.
- Click the Next button > click the Next button again > click the Next button one more time.
- Use the display controls to increase or lower the contrast without losing the wrinkles in the photo.
- Click the Next button > click the Next button again.
- Use the sliders for red, green, and blue to fix the warm color by adjusting until you get a cooler color scheme.
Click the Next button > clear the Start ClearType Tuner option to calibrate how text is rendered on the screen > click the Finish button.
When done, the screen will show cooler colors instead of warm colors. If calibrating the screen didn’t fix the issue then you should check your manufacturer’s support website for other ways to calibrate the display.
