Severe Contrast & Color Issues after macOS Update

Hello everyone,

I updated my MacBook yesterday to macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 (24G419), and I'm experiencing severe issues with screen contrast and color rendering.

The Problems:

  • Significantly Increased Contrast: The overall contrast level has drastically increased.
  • Color Shift: White areas now appear distinctly pink/rosy.
  • Mouse Trail/Ghosting: When moving the cursor, I see a noticeable trail or ghosting effect against the white (now pink) background.
  • Color Fickering/Shimmering: I can visually perceive colors flickering or shimmering.
  • Oversaturation and Blown-out Images: Green colors are much more saturated, and photos/images often look overexposed or "blown-out" (too bright).

What I've Tried:

I have read through the forum threads, and I can confirm that all the system menus and accessibility options that typically affect contrast or color are disabled/turned off.

Has anyone else encountered this specific set of issues with this particular update? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 15.7
