Changing the color of my laptop LCD

I'm already using F.lux but this laptop LCD's hue/color/whatever has a lot more blue in it than my old laptop or my external Syncmaster. I've looked around a bit here and there but couldn't really find anything useful. Anyone here knows how to adjust this? I just want to make it less blue (kinda like what F.lux does but permanent).

When I compare my laptop screen with my external one, the external one is softer than the "cold" laptop one, and kinda looks more natural as well.

Windows 7 has it at:

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display

Then the Calibrate Color button to the left.

or this for Windows XP:

See if you can associate the profile using the Display Properties control panel:
) open the Display Properties control panel
) click the Settings tab
) click the Advanced button
) click the Color Management button
) if the profile is not listed:
) click the Add... button
) select the profile from the file dialog
) click the Add button
) locate the profile in the list titled "Color profiles currently associated with this device"
) click once on the name to select it
) click the Set As Default button
) click the Apply button
) confirm that the correct profile name is listed above the profile list under the title "Default monitor profile" ===== If that process works then you are done =====

I'm on Windows 7 and I tried that, reduced blue a lot but it didn't do anything really..

What video card do you have? Nvidia, ATi, Intel garbage?

I know ATi has the Catalyst Control Center that has very fine tuning of colors, aa, and various other graphic based settings.

Intel and Nvidia have similar programs.
