Since no one’s jumping in…
It sounds like the color control is targeting saturation…luminance much less so. You did not mention what was happening to Delta E 94/2000 …but this is key. Also, where were you coming in with the blue filter method (blue only mode?)?
Lastly…brightness set?…only double checking because of the dark gamma on the bottom end and you did not mention it along with the others that you did.
