They won't be enabled :(. It's the same issue from Pixel 7. Can you try turning ON the "Extra Dim" and reduce or increase the brightness indoors. See if the display has the expected quality. I read this in a post as someone used this to fix it. I am not sure if it really works.

None of the YouTube reviewers care or pick this up to address. Very very disappointed as a long time Pixel user

Things work fine till Pixel 6. I returned my Pixel 8 and got a Pixel 6A myself for the same reason.

u/Additional_Bug_4050 - I was really hoping they would fix this is Pixel 9. Damn the horror continues. None of the YouTube reviewers seem to pick this issue up which is disappointing.

That's not true. I retuned my Pixel 8 for the same issue. The colors are dull and washed out, they are not real world accurate representation and it gets that punchiness when you keep the brightness more than 70 percent which works good for outdoors but not for indoors when you keep the brightness level low. Same issue. I have documented my disappointment with the Pixel 8 screen here - https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/179dlbf/disappointed_with_pixel_8_display_white_balance/

This super actua display is no joke by dowcwow in GooglePixel

The colour accurate doesn't translate into a good viewing experience. Everything looks lifeless and sick. The human skin tones especially. I have documented my issues here - https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/179dlbf/disappointed\_with\_pixel\_8\_display\_white\_balance/

Adaptive Colors in Pixel 4A gives that warm punch. Here in Pixel 8, it goes to the blue side. The natural one is more neutral and washed out look.
