I own a monitor color calibration tool and my Apple devices have fairly been well calibrated out of the box.
And even if your users may not use color calibrated monitors, you’re still better off picking the correct color on a calibrated monitor rather than doubling up on the error.
Also, none of this is new. Even if you used #aabbcc color codes, you were implicitly choosing the sRGB colorspace even if you had no idea about colorspaces. There isn’t a solution that gets rid of colorspaces… it’s like suggesting that it’s possible to specify length without a unit like meters or inches. The colorspace is the unit.
- cosmotic 2y agoI own a calibration tool too, but I prefer the way the screen looks uncalibrated, so I leave it uncalibrated. Rounded to the nearest percent, 0% of users have calibration tools, nor are they running their monitor in a meaningfully calibrated state from the factory. It's all running at higher brightness and saturation because that's what users think looks better. If most users are running super-saturated and super-bright, and color matching to what those users are seeing is important, it would be better to use that as the baseline instead of a calibrated monitor.
