Multiple Scan Displays: ColorSync Color Temperatures

The image on the Apple Multiple Scan Display is a combination of red, green, and blue signals. The intensity, or color temperature, of signals can be changed to one of three settings:

• 9300 K (the default, which appears bluish)
• 6500 K (which is page white)
• 5000 K (which appears reddish)

At higher color temperature, white appears as slightly cooler white with more of a blue tint, while at lower color temperature, white appears as a slightly warmer white. You can change the color temperature according to your personal preference or what is suitable for your particular application.
