Display too bright.

What is the best overall setting for my display? When I open any photographs and many web sites with pictures, the pictures appear to be over exposed, with peoples' faces often seeming to be a yellowish tint, rather than flesh-colored/white. I have a 14 inch MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.3

A definitive answer is going to be elusive due to the subjective range of what anyone would consider ideal. All I can suggest is to investigate Change Displays settings on Mac - Apple Support, and in particular Color Profile. You are likely to conclude display brightness is only one of a number of contributing factors.


Also, be sure that you did not inadvertently alter some display setting in Accessibility, such as contrast or any number of other settings: Change Display settings for accessibility on Mac - Apple Support.


As far as brightness itself is concerned, Change your Mac display’s brightness - Apple Support, but I personally think it's less relevant than other settings.
