Windows 10: Color displayed does not reflect actual colors? (read description)

I think a good thing to try would be to reset your monitor's and graphic card's settings to defaults and make sure they are not using any "movie" or "game" or "reading" mode/presets. These days the default configuration should be fairly close to "okay"

Also, it can depend on what type of monitor you are using - some different panel types are better at displaying colors/contrast than others.

 

Hi everyone, I'm not super tech savvy, but I give it my best to describe my issue;

I work in Photoshop for my online class, and most of the time my teacher has been saying my projects were pretty saturated. I didn't understand why as my screen shows the colors to be pretty light (I'll post some examples here). Later when working on an assignment, I switched to another computer and saw one of my projects; I had to redo all the colors.

My question is: is there a way to fix my display so that it's more reflective of what the colors actually are?

Thanks!

ex: 1 is my final, not sure it's super dark or not, but on my display it looks quite on the pastel side, especially 2 where the colors are super bright, but what I initially wanted after switching computers. 3 was what I originally started with, thinking the colors were brighter, but apparently are dark and don't look very good.

Nokia 5800 XM display problem

Second time in Nokia Care and my 5800XM phone is finally fixed. No more color changing. The phone display was changed. It was a hardware problem after all. And here comes another problem - new display is not so good as the old one. It has poor color representation
and picture feels like on an old reflective display.

 

Desktop Black Wallpaper Won't Change (Windows 10)

This same thing has happened to me, except I can change my theme and the accent colors around windows, taskbar, tiles, and smart menu also changes to reflect the theme and the desktop picture color, however for me, my actual wallpaper is not when I assigned
it, it is black. I can change to different themes fine, but the wallpaper does not change, I can assigned wallpapers manual via "set as wallpaper" but my desktop wallpaper does not change at all.... it remains black, I can swap to solid colors from the background
menu, but when I change to picture for a wallpaper it is black and no wallpaper is display, just black.

ALSO: I did a clean re-install hoping it would fix it, but no, it is not fixed which is breaking my mind..... A full reformat, re-install of windows 10 and the problem is persistent from the beginning? is this a Microsoft account error problem of some sort??

 

GPU's and monitors are always going to display colors differently if not properly calibrated.
