Color rendering

[crystinonfire]

Coming from a Pixel 3, the colors on the Pixel 7 look really dull to me. They're desaturated with less contrast. Even the black on the Dark Theme doesn't really look like a true black to me. I saw some people on Reddit complaining about this. Is anyone here experiencing this or know of a fix?

I think overall the new pixels are a little bit different than from those people coming from the earlier models as they did tone down a little bit under display.. The earlier pixels definitely had a different type of screen imo.. I think it's more of getting used to it cuz I think the pixel screen is beautiful..

Go to Settings > Display > Colors
The default is "Natural" but if you go to "Adaptive" it seems, to me at least, to be a bit more saturated on my P7 Pro (though I personally prefer the Natural setting).

With the P6 Pro there was a third option, "Boosted," which likewise catered towards higher saturation and contrast levels, but that appears to have been removed for the latest model.

I have mine set to Adaptive and it's still much less saturated than my Pixel 3.

When I look at my IG grid on the 7, all of the photos look terrible to me, but they look good on my 3 lol

Mine was set at adaptive by default.

Very possible my setting to Natural was copied over from my 6 Pro.
