Change of external monitor color when I open the lid

Hello,

I have a MacBook Pro with an external monitor connected to it, I mostly use it closed and it works fine, but when I open the lid of my MacBook Pro the external monitor changes the color setup to a more yellowish one.


How can I keep the same color with the lid open and closed?


Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hey there, Ikos9!


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! If we understand correctly, your external monitor appears to have a yellow tone when opening the lid of your MacBook Pro.


It sounds like you may have Night Shift enabled on your Mac, which causes the display to have warmer tones to the screen.


To check the settings on your Mac, open the Apple menu () > System Preferences, click Displays. From here, click on the Night Shift tab and check if this is enabled.
