So my MacBook Air’s color was really driving me nuts.  I’d gotten to the point of sad acceptance that the bright, grainy resolution was something I’d be forced into staring at the rest of its existence, in fact.  I really had no idea just how easy it was to update the color profiles with one that more appropriately reflected what I was seeing.

If you look around the web you’ll find a lot just by searching “Mac color profile”.  There are several programs you can pay a hundo or two to build your own color profile far easier and more effectively than the color calibration tool found on the Mac in Display System Preferences, in fact.

Here’s a great start: a discussion on Macrumors about MacBook color calibration that includes some profiles you can use and some hints on locating your panel type and how to identify if your display is showing colors optimally.

Enjoy!
