    Hello,

    I am wondering if it is possible to change colors on my graphics card. Say for example, change green color to appear as red color? I want to improve visibility in games. In dark games it is hard to see sometimes, I can adjust gamma in game menus, and it helps. But I am wondering if I can use the graphics card itself to adjust brightness/gamma and actual color presentation in games. Some games are painfully dark, I find, and I would enjoy them more if I can enchance visibility by color changes.

    I can just replace the game files for models/textures by more bright ones, but, that takes a great deal of time and it is much more preferrable to tweak colors using graphics. Can I do this?

    colors can be tweaked in both the Nvidia control panel and AMD's catacyst control center. Nvidia's color settings are only for the desktop though, and will revert when in game I believe. :(
