What is Dell True Color?
Dell True Color is a utility that provides optimal color on your computer display for different viewing environments by dynamically enhancing color, contrast, brightness, and sharpness to harness the maximum capabilities of the Dell display. Dell True Color offers several predefined profiles and adjustment sliders, allowing you to control the display's color temperature, vibrancy, and tone.
Dell True Color application is factory-installed on supported Dell Inspiron and XPS PCs. To learn how to download the True Color application, reference the Frequently asked questions section below.
Dell True Color application is factory-installed on supported Dell PCs only. To open the Dell True Color application, click the Dell True Color tray icon (multicolor icon) in the system tray (Figure 1).
Dell True Color application, when installed on supported Dell PCs allows you to control or change the color temperature, vibrance and skin tone settings for the best viewing experience. There are also preset profiles available like Vivid Mode, Office Mode, Movie Mode, Outdoor Mode, and Natural Mode (Figure 2).
Color Temperature - Change the color cast of the entire display between warm (incandescent) and cool (fluorescent) setting. Reducing the color temperature to a warmer tone gives the screen an increasingly reddish cast, while increasing the color temperature to a cooler tone makes the color cast increasingly blue.
Vibrance - Change the vibrance setting for a better viewing experience in varied lighting conditions. A more vibrant setting is better suited for dim lighting.
Skin Tones - Allows you to refine the skin tone in pictures and video without affecting the other colors on the display. Warmer skin tone adds more red to the skin tone and moving the slider towards normal decreases the amount of red in the skin tone.
