System of calibrating a display

A system of calibrating a display associated with a computing device, comprising:

• a mobile app installed on a mobile device comprising a camera, a processor, non-volatile storage, and communication means;
• a web app installed on a network accessible computer server;
• and
• a local app installed on the computing device;
• wherein the mobile app comprises computer-readable instructions stored in the non-volatile storage that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile device to:
• process an image taken of the display to determine color values of calibration patches displayed on the display;
• and
• transmit the color values to the web app;
• wherein the web app comprises a database of mobile device characterization data and computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the network accessible server, cause the server to:
• receive color values transmitted by the mobile app;
• process the color values to create a calibrated device profile for the display;
• and
• download the calibrated device profile to the local app on the computing device;
• and
• wherein the local app comprises computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor on the computing device, cause the computing device to:
• display calibration patches;
• receive the calibrated device profile from the web app;
• and
• install the calibrated device profile;
• wherein the calibration patches comprise a plurality of red patches displayed at different levels of color saturation, a plurality of green patches displayed at different levels of color saturation, and a plurality of blue patches displayed at different levels of color saturation.
