point you created.

light. See “Adjusting for Ambient Light,” next.
Adjusting for ambient light
About ambient light
All light falling on the front of your display is called ambient light and can
change how colors appear.
For example, in fluorescent light, the colors on your display may look redder
than normal for the white point you defined. Near a window the colors may
look more yellow.
To get a truer color rendering, set the white point for your display, and then
correct for ambient light conditions in the room.
IMPORTANT To correct for ambient light, the color depth on your display must
be set to Millions of Colors. To set color depth, see “Changing Color Depth”
in Chapter 6. The number of colors you can set for your display may depend
on the screen resolution you choose. If you can’t set color depth to Millions of
Colors, try changing to a lower screen resolution. For more information, see
“Changing Screen Resolution” in Chapter 6.
