Color Temperature and strange shaddows

[mr.thing]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is a bug in Catalina, but I found this happening after the upgrade.

I usually prefer a bit cooler colors on my display, so my color calibration is on blue side 7500-8000 color
temperature. But I found that with Catalina upgrade things a a bit strange. I'm not 100 sure this is related to
Catalina becuse I moved from old rMBP 2015 to rMBP 2019 13 inch almost at the same time and always used dar theme
since it was released, but I started noticing this on white web pages after Catalina upgrade, so started looking at this
more deeper now and switched to white theme where this is more noticeable. Or maybe it's an issue with my macbook display?

Here is what I do:

Go to display and try to calibrate, set color temperature to say 8k, I can see
this kind of strange things happening around window and menu shadows

Now go to system preferences, accessibility, select display, move display slider a little bit right and
then back to default position. Shadows now gone and things back to normal, but after about a minute it all
falls back to what it is in picture.

I believe there is an issue with Catalina and True Tone. a majority of people are experiencing some type of issue with colors. I am finding that my whites have a bit more of a yellowish tint to them in Catalina as apposed to Mojave.

Was in the apple store today and found that all 13 inch macbooks are affected by this. 15 inch and macbook air are fine. So maybe they will release and update soon with the fixes.
