Color profile change after connecting external monitor

Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro 2017. I attempted to connect a Samsung external monitor (returned). Now my colors look blown out and oversaturated. Is there a way to to revert to my earlier color profiles. I appreciate any ideas or feedback. I can't do my image work with with these saturated colors. Many thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″
