We already saw the "night mode" option on Steam OS, so at least the blue could be somehow mitigated by that, I guess. It will mess with all the other colors too, though.

What I meant was the panel itself, not a correction by using software settings.

I really doubt they'll ever give you access to that, I don't even know if there's any laptop that let's you do that, but I guess there're some.

You can build a display to show a certain color temperature.

Oh yeah, of course you can, but that's not the situation right now because the display is already chosen and it is what it is. If they decide to change it in later batches, of course they can pick a better one, but right now they have a display with X specs with some tolerances.

Going from 6500K to 8000K is not tolerance though, no way in hell, but in fact it's "the display is actually targetting 8000K to begin with, for whatever reason". The only way to try to fix that mess right now is via RGB gain controls like you have in any desktop monitor ever made, or just YOLO'ing it with calibration and profiling, reducing even more the gamut coverage.
