    Yes you can adjust the colors in windows. Open Display Color Calibration by clicking Start, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type calibrate display, and then click Calibrate display color. You can then adjust the colors, brightness, contrast etc.

    Here is the KB article from MS on this topic:

    And disable igfxpers.exe from starting to make sure your color settings stick.
