For all who are not satisfied by the colors of screen,
I passed by a post on Reddit that someone succeeded to enable 3 more different Display Colors modes other than "Vivid & Natural" via adb

There is 5 screen modes in total:

  • 0 AMOLED cinema "DCI P3 color"
  • 1 AMOLED Photo "Adobe RGB"
  • 2 Basic
  • 3 Natural
  • 4 Vivid
Go to Settings -> Display -> Screen mode and

  • Set the screen mode to Natural otherwise this trick won't work
Connect your phone to adb on your PC and type

  • adb shell settings put system screen_mode_setting a number from 0 to 4
example:

  • adb shell settings put system screen_mode_setting 0
Last thing to do:

  • In order for the changes to update, open the settings, go to display and go to the Screen mode tab and go back.

Also there is a video step by step to enable it



Finally instead of adb you can use SETEDIT App from Play store to do the same

I wonder, if someone was able to find out what colour values/settings these other modes are using, we could replicate them using the advanced settings in display options, instead of going through ADB/SETEDIT?

I absolutely hate the dull, non vibrant and washed colors of the S23 Ultra. Funny no Youtube "experts" talk about it, it's only "it's gorgeous blah blah blah". I think I'm going to send it back. Already miss my S21 Ultra, too bad it had a pos Exynos chip. If only the S21 Ultra had a Snapdragon here in Europe I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I compared a printed photo with what my phone shows (same Photopro TIFF file) and to my eyes the colors on the screen where similar to the print, I didn't see any dull colors and in Natural mode is what I expect, something near to reality.
The S23U display is pretty great, if you like extra saturared colors that has nothing to do with the real image, that is another story.

OP I really appreciate you finding this. I didn't know about SetEdit, but along with what you found, I found something else that might work even better for some. (see below)

For the longest time, I have been trying to find a way in Android to adjust RGB color levels beyond what the Settings app allows for. Even setting Display to Vivid and adjusting green all the way to the bottom, I still find that green is too prevalent, and makes the screen washed out. The problem is, without Root, I thought there was no way around this problem.

When I saw this thread, I downloaded SetEdit and started looking through it. I found three settings:

sec_display_temperature_blue
sec_display_temperature_green
sec_display_temperature_red

When the green level in Android Settings is at minimum level (in Vivid mode), it shows as "-11" in the SetEdit app.

I was able to successfully lower that further (to -25 in my case), and it worked!!! With no root!

This is awesome!! Thanks OP!!!

Hi, screen estete lovers. This thread is great, for me display representation is one of main things when choosing phone.
I tried all those things on s20 ultra and all works. One question for @0oWow - this fine tuning only works on vivid (as in main settings)- can be anything done to set rgb on natural ( or new, from hiden meni, BASIC mode?
thanks

Sorry, I'm not useful here. I tested this on a P7P and it doesn't work there either. Since P7P also lacks VIVID, I guess it is a VIVID only setting, but that is the only way I run anyway.

    I think it Needs a color measuring equipment to do such a job. or a very good sense of colors :)
