how to make black and white to color mode

Hey there ExposedChaff89.

To check, what type of television are you plugging your Xbox 360 into and what type of display cable are you using to connect your Xbox 360? Keep us in the loop

•STANDARD makes use of the entire grayscale.

•INTERMEDIATE uses only a part of it, crushing the white end of the spectrum.

•EXPANDED crushes black.

Crushing one end of the grayscale will highlight the other end. So you'll notice shades of black and vibrant color in Intermediate. Shades of white are more prominent in Expanded Mode where scenes appear brighter and less saturated. (With white levels and
crushed blacks Expanded seems like a massive leap in contrast.)

My thoughts are why in the hell are they playing yo-yo with the colors of these consoles? 360, White. 360 Elite/S, Black. XB1, Black. XB1S, White... how hard could it possibly be to offer a color choice, given how often I see comments from people who determine
just how long it will be (IF at all) before they will get the newer version based on color? I don't like the white and it's made my decision to not bother until my current console dies very easy.

It could just be duller colors in the game your playing. I found standard reference levels are the best for me and most people.

If you want the colors to pop that's your prerogative. If the game in question is BF3 I'd recommend using the standard. Cause when you go inside buildings after the sunburn effect drops off, its hard to see people stalking in the shadows W/O standard black
levels. On expanded it just makes the darker shades of grey, black.

Imagine your looking at a bar that slopes from white to grey to black, with even parts black and white at either end. Then you change to expanded, you'd see the black side of the bar expand further to the grey zone and the whole grey zone would be blacker.

Now balancing the white is tricky its hard as some settings effect the dominant color in white to make it "brighter" usually a higher brightness / contrast will add too much blue to your white. Just remember white is not a "bright color it is just a neutral
surface that reflects all colors equally. Which is what your trying to replicate, if your trying to replicate a flashlight then your doing it wrong.

I'd go with the EON skin because of its white and black color scheme. Its reminiscent of an Xbox One S, or at least my Xbox One S model with the white color scheme. I think it'd make it sort of ironic, you could say the skin looks like an Xbox per say.
