There's a lot of available digital display color management software. Adobe has it built into Photoshop where you enter your make and type of display.

I just noticed that on my laptop the color is less saturated than on the desktop. The true color is somewhere between the two renditions. That is something we don't always think about with our various electronic devices -- that the displays vary significantly in how they render color information.

I'm sure a company would sell more cameras using a sensor which records richer colors than actually existed.
It's like using KodaChrome in the film era, which people loved because it exaggerated colors.
You can always photograph a reference color chart and create a Photoshop correction filter.

Thank you! The red in this photo is a bit more saturated than in reality (at least on my screen). Usually I get the opposite - where the photo shows up more brown and the red is hard to discern at all.
