The latest Steam Deck update changes the default color rendering on the LCD model to emulate sRGB color gamut, which should enable warmer and more vibrant colors.

Most of the update’s biggest changes are to the display settings. While the LCD device’s default setting has been changed to the sRGB, you can change it back to the “native” display or to a setting called “boosted,” which further enhances color and appearance at the risk of gradient clipping.
