For the record, GHelper can change Visual Modes/Color Profiles/Screen Gamut. If that is not shown for you, make a bug report on github with details about your laptop and it will be added.

I'm surprised there aren't more open source alternatives haven't started popping up for other OEMs. Like a version of Lenovo vantage or whatever they use on their legion laptops and for MSI, dell, Acer, HP, Gigabyte software too.

Hello, actually you can change "display color profiles", it's literally visible on your own screenshots and called Visual Modes :)
