This article describes how to turn on or off the “Auto color management for apps” feature in Windows 11.
Auto color management (ACM) helps new and updated apps render more accurate colors in the latest Windows 11. With auto color management, apps can use billions of colors with 10-16 bits of precision.
This provides extra detail and fewer color artifacts (for example, in gradients, shadows, and darker scenes or pictures).
To use the Auto Color Management feature, your devices must have WDDM driver version 3.0 or greater, compatible with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel graphics cards.
If you do not see the feature available on your device, then your device doesn’t have compatible graphics cards.
Turn on Auto color management for apps via Windows Settings
As described above, for supported devices, the new Auto color management feature helps new and updated apps render more colors with greater accuracy in the latest Windows 11.
