Question

as title, Is there a way to lower Macbook integrated display saturation levels?

I found no option.
If it would be possible with a feature add-on to the app, it would be phenomenal!

What do you think about?

Saturation levels are determined by the ColorSync profile. You should think in reverse - if you choose a profile that is tuned for a lower gamut display than yours, saturation will increase and vice versa. You should choose a profile that is tuned for a wide-gamut display (one that can show more colors) than the built-in display, that will decrease the saturation.

Saturation cannot be changed by colortable manipulation - it would be possible to do it by using overlay filters, but altering the colorsync profile seems to be the better way to me.
