If your desktop computer or new laptop from HP, Asus, Acer, Dell, or another brand has an external monitor that shows very warm, yellowish hues, it may be because the display hasn’t been calibrated correctly.
Laptops typically lack display adjustments, but if you have an external monitor, you can always utilize the built-in controls to change the red, green, and blue colors until you reach a cooler color level. To correct the warm colors on the screen, you can utilize the Windows 11 calibration tool to lessen the quantity of red and green.
This post will teach you how to fix the problem of your Windows 11 computer’s display showing a lot of warm colors.
Calibrate display to fix warm colors on Windows 11
A straightforward guided tool that has been around for a while, the Display Color Calibration tool enables you to adjust the brightness, contrast, gamma, and main colors (red, green, and blue) settings to enhance your viewing experience.
Open Settings>System>Display before using the calibration tool, and make sure the Night light option is turned off since it may be the cause of the warm screen colors.
Use these techniques to correct overly warm colors on your laptop’s screen or external monitor running Windows 11:

The screen will display cooler hues rather than warm ones after you’ve finished the steps.

Although Windows 11 is the main topic of this article, Windows 10 can also follow the instructions.
If your monitor supports HDR, you can use Windows 11’s ICC profiles to enable HDR for apps. Additionally, to unleash the brighter and bolder colors available on compatible displays, you may activate the Auto HDR function on HDR displays, which automatically converts compatible games from standard dynamic range (SDR) to high dynamic range (HDR).
