HI GUYS

I have a two retina MacBook Pros 2012 15in with MacOs Catalina on it

I notice that the retina screen brightness & color seem dark cold, and don't know its because of it's running on MacOs Catalina

so I downgrade the one of the MacBook Pro 2021 15in from MacOs Catalina to MacOs High Sierra, and bom..wala..the retina screen brightness & color gets better like warmer to look at.

I had experience running MacOs Catalina on a Touch Bar MacBook Pros 2016, and it's laggy and slow in terms of running adobe suite app, and retina MacBook Pros 2012 probably will do worse, so today I downgrade the second retina MacBook Pros 2012 from MacOs Catalina to MacOs Mojave to see if the retina screen brightness & color get better like in MacOs High Sierra, and the result is a no no, the MacOs Mojave is the same as MacOs Catalina on retina MacBook Pros 2012, the retina screen brightness & color gets cold and moody.

however I do hope the retina MacBook Pros 2012 would run and perform slightly faster and better for Adobe suite app on MacOs Mojave then MacOs Catalina, and I will test it out soon to let you guys know.

Anyway Does Macbook pro 2012 retina screen looks darker in MacOs Catalina?
