    anyone here tried the Pantone Huey PRO?
    Is it good?

    Not looking to calibrate for print, more I just want to make sure my macbook pro is calibrated properly. The default factory settings are far to blue.

    I've been using my own calibration settings for a while, but I've noticed that the colour #181716 on other macs either looks like dark red-brown or black. It should be a slightly warm orangish off-black.

    How does #181716 look for you guys?

    It's gonna depend a lot on what lighting you have in the room, tbh.

    What you see on-screen under an office strip light is going to vary a lot from being sat by an open fire. As we all are, obviously.

    well, it's going to look like black against a white backdrop like this... against black it's more obviously a warm (orange) dark grey.

    Unfortunately, calibrating your Macbook Pro's screen is a futile exercise. After calibrating it, measure it in about a day and the colors will be out of wack again. It is the nature of laptop screens...if you really want to see proper color, use a monitor.
