Mojave Dark Mode has a reddish tint in transparency with any color but graphite.

I got a brand new MacBook Pro and for some reason Mojave seems to have a reddish tint in the transparency. I've used Mojave before on two other Macs but they have always had the grey transparency with blue highlights etc. But this seems to be giving the transparency a red tint unless it's set to graphite. I don't know about you but I like my dark mode with blacks and blues. And I can't have the blue in graphite mode. Is there a way to fix this or is it a glitch?

See if a different System Preferences : Displays : Color profile such as Display P3 rids the red color. Not an equal comparison, but my Late-2013 iMac does not show a red tint with that color profile on Mojave 10.14.6.

What about just trying Adobe RGB or sRGB profiles? You know how little things tend to aggregate into proper annoyances. The worse case is a custom color profile that you create.

Though P3 definitely reduced the red by a lot, it makes the colors on the screen look more faded, hence why I had the other profile active. The Rec. ITU-R BT.709-5 makes it so that the colors are nice and bold, which personally I like. It's just that on certain parts of the background if I move a window around it just changes different shades of red. (the background is Chroma1) It's just a little thing I keep noticing, and would much prefer the red tint to not exist.
