Make Your Mac's Display Warmer

The Cool n00B

I've always found the display on my 13" MacBook Air that I got from school to be a little cool, so I set out to figure out how to warm it up a little, and I did it. No admin PW required (unless SP is blocked).

 

  1. Open System Preferences
  2. Go to Displays
  3. Click Color at the top
  4. Click "Color LCD" from the list.

If this doesn't warm it up a little, then you might have to make your own profile. Here's how you set up your own profile:

  1. Perform steps #1-3 from above.
  2. Click the "Calibrate..." button on the right
  3. Click "Continue"
  4. Go ahead and choose a Gamma setting. It doesn't affect the guide, but 2.2 looks a little better. Click "Continue"
  5. The warmer settings are D65 and D50, but I found the D65 is the same as the native white point. Click "Continue"
  6. Give your profile a name. This doesn't matter too much.
  7. Click "Done" and select your created profile if it isn't already.

Downloading profiles is probably also a thing if you're into that.
