How to calibrate screen colour in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
The color on the screen of my Dell XPS 15 is rather blue-ish. The D55 (5500K) profile is too yellow and D60 is too cold.
Ideally I'd like a profile configured at 5700k, or somewhere in that zone. None of the other profiles suit my needs.
UPDATE:
While I have yet to find a proper solution, I managed to tweak the color of my screen with redshift. Not an ideal solution, but it does the trick for the time being.
UPDATE 2:
This can be done with the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-temperature <temperature>
color-management icc

In the meantime I bought a dell XPS 13 9370 and its default white point is much better than the previous XPS 15.
