Overclocking a monitor is more a process of reducing color depth to increase other data throughput like your referesh rate. If you overclock you'll have slightly worse colors and slightly better refresh rate.

It's not suggested to OC beyond 144. You might end up with loads of issues. Ghosting, flickering, bad colours, low brightness etc.

if you revert the overclock the monitor then revert the overclock will it change the colors back to normal?

Yeah, presumably all goes back to normal when removing an overclock. Overclocking a monitor doesn't damage it because you're not forcing in any extra power. Hopefully it doesn't screw with your color settings though.

Yeah that's via a preset on the monitor.

Yeah but if you like accurate color then it's a trade off. Up to you.

Nothing should happen if you go to far. It'll just fail to display or everything will get blurry. Just wait the 30 seconds and windows will revert back to what it was before.

on nvidia panel it says overclocking higher may cause damage and increase heat and voltage
