The True Tone technology in MacBook Pro (2018) uses advanced multichannel sensors to adjust the color and intensity of your display and Touch Bar to match the ambient light so that images appear more natural.
You can turn True Tone on or off in the Displays pane of System Preferences:
- Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Displays.
- Click the Display tab.
- Use the True Tone checkbox to turn the feature on or off.
