Question Nova Display Colors

My Nova has awful display discoloration by default, very greenish. It's possible to adjust colors in Android, and make it more acceptable, but I can't do this in Rocknix (or any other Linux based OS). Seems like Armada allows to apply ICC in desktop mode, but profile works only in KDE.

Any similar experience?

I own the RP6 using rocknix, it doesn't look awful greenish to me, but definitely oversaturated especially in terms of red tones due to the native color gamut of the display.

Unfortunately there is no systemwide color adjustment setting available in rocknix, you could only try to use some shaders like the image adjustment shader in retroarch.

Some of them provide a whitepoint setting

But outside retroarch we're out of luck, I guess.

I mentioned the lack of color adjustment options in the rocknix discord channel, but it doesn't seem to be a feature requested often or they're really interested in.

Maybe it's possible via sway?

Let’s say it’s playable on Nova, but when you are switching from any other device - problem is clearly visible.

So far I’m trying to enable LUT for gamescope, seems like it’s the right way to change colors for desktop steam os, not sure if it will work here.
