Color Calibration Issues on HP Laptop 15-fd0xxx

[Betsab]

I have a problem with the color display on my HP Laptop 15-fd0xxx. The colors look very dull, for example, blacks appear as grays, and reds look like oranges. I have tried calibrating the screen, but there is no place to adjust the contrast and color of the screen, except for the Windows 11 calibration, which has not solved the problem.
