Color Calibration
All visible color is artificially created by a combination of red green and blue colors.
Some LED manufacturers may have tricolor LEDs that tend to be a bit more blue or red than one would
expect. As long as all LED strips used are from the same manufacturer the colors tend to remain consistent.
If the color of all the LEDs seem to be off a little (more or less: red, blue or green) the Dakota Digital Accessory
app can fine tune the color spectrum. Any color adjustments alter all LED outputs at the same time.
Adjustment to only one output bank is not possible.
Though one may never exactly match our gauges, the color calibration mode could help get the colors closer.
In the Accessory app, the calibration shows the three primary colors Red / Blue / Green with a slider.
The scale of each slider ranges from 0 to 31. The 32 steps have limited ranges of visible colors.
Having only 32 steps in each color range limits the overall LED color adjustment range.
Each color one picks manually or from the HDX/RTX synced colors can be fine-tuned.
Increasing one color or another can increase that one shade, or with the right combination can create another
color.
With visible light, an even combination of red and green will create yellow, with blue at zero.
If the color has a bit redder, either scale back the red or scale up the blue. Adjust in small amounts at a time.
Sample of factory "Salmon" color screen and an adjusted screen in the app.
Just the minor adjustment of Green to 9 and Blue to 8 changed the color to be less reddish / pink.
