Colour Tempature?

[Gas_Mask_]

Hey, dose it matter what tempature I run my screen at? (in kelvin) Is there certain thing that benifit from different temps? I just prefer 7500k. I usually have both my monitor, and my driver set to 7500k colour temp. I've heard that 6500k is better for productivity, and all-round work, but I like the warmer colours that 7500k gives.

 

Thanks for any advice!

Cos then every colour you see will not be the colours the developers intended for it to look.  ALL colours will shift to a warmer colour cos of your monitor.  6500k is neutral gray, balanced white.

Ok, so should I set my monitor to that? Or sRGB? or a custom Red Green Blue level setting? What is the best setting to get the developers intended colours?

I personally use a custom setting.  You can either use a display calibrater like a Spyder5 or look for reviews where they do it for you and just give you a profile to import or give you values you can change on your RGB setting

It's an old monitor so I couldn't import profiles, but I could change it manually. It's such an old monitor that I doubt anyone has done a review, so I'll just mess with it myself. Thanks for the help!
