Windows 10: Does 2 color display still exist in Windows 11?

In Windows 11, is there an option to have only 2, 16, or 256 colors displayed at a time? Has that feature been removed? If not, where is it?

Cannot change color profile for display no 2

I am struggling with setting up my new desktop with 2 displays. No 1 is Asus PD287Q and no 2 is OLG IPS 236VX. At first colors on both displays were quite bad, sort of green on no1, and red-blue on no 2. After much trial and error with color settings in
Windows and using buttons on each device, No 1 is now ok, after setting windows default color profile to sRGB (Control panel Color Management). Of course i try the same solution on display no 2, but that is not possible. No error indication, my efforts are
simply ignored. Both displays have the same NVIDA configuration (Other applications control color setting). dxdiag reveal no differences between the 2 displays.

No 1 is connected via a Display port, no 2 via hdmi. There is some indication that hdmi connection is causing the problem, but then - is that really possible? I can't test that properly since no 2 has no Display port.

Why can I not change color profile for display no 2? Any suggestions?

What else could I do to get decent colors on display no 2? The windows default - which i can't change - is now Wide Gamut RGB.

Thank you in advance.

Color bit depth is at 6-bit on Display properties of Windows 10 pro

Try the below suggested steps and check if the suggested options are available to change the Color bit Depth value

1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Expand the Display, and then highlight the Change resolution.
3. On the right side, check if there is 8 bpc listed under
   Output color depth.
4. You may select 8 bpc and restart the device to witness the changes.

How to reset the display settings, color resolution, basically everything to do with color?

Oh I see. Well to set the resolution, you can right-click wallpaper and choose Display Settings. I'd make sure your resolution is set to the native/recommended resolution that actually matches how many pixel dots your screen really has.

But then the color settings, I'd try this:

• Go to Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and choose the Display Adapter Properties link.
• Go to the Color Management tab, and click the Color Management button.
• Go to the Advanced tab, and click the Calibrate display button.

If that still doesn't get it back, I'd also try this:

• Click Start to show your Start menu, type "clear" into the keyboard and choose the "Adjust ClearType Text" option.
• Follow this tool to tune your display more.

Beyond that, the next steps are usually to use either the display's buttons to adjust the contrast/brightness. Although if you're on a laptop, those buttons may not exist. The laptop builder might have some software for their machine, but it varies around
by builder.
