Default Win 10 Night Light feature..nice idea, bad implementation

I'm glad MS is paying attention to the research regarding how blue light
before sleep is a bad idea. I've enabled Night Light on my laptop. But
it's a good idea implemented badly. Click Shutdown and you're greeted, by
default I think, with an all-blue screen! Blue screens (of the non-
disastrous sort) are all over Windows. So, give 'em a thumbs-up for a good
idea but thumbs-down for implementation. Or am I missing something?

Night light adjusts the color temperature of the display. It does not
remove all blue colors from Windows.

Exactly. It doesn't remove =all= the blues, just tones them down....except
for the backgrounds of some that hit you right in the face when you, say,
Shutdown.

Sounds interesting.

I couldn’t meet their glances,
I was staring at my shoes.
It was acid, it was tragic,
It was almost like the blues.

No matter how much you adjust the color temperature on a display, blue
is still going to be blue. Night light not a filter to modify the color
on the screen. For more information about monitor display color
temperature, consider
http://www.eizoglobal.com/library/basics/color_temperature_on_an_LCD_monitor/.

Basically, daylight has more blue in it than sunset. It's designed to
mimic this change to feel more natural to your brain. On that page,
you'll see the least blue colors are during sunrise/sunset. However,
even at sunset, if you look at a blue car, it is still blue.

Here's a tip: If the full blue screen bothers you when you shutdown your
computer, avert your eyes after you hit the shutdown button. Or, create
a shortcut on your desktop with the command "shutdown /s /t 60" which
will start a timed shutdown with a 60-second delay, giving you time to
turn of the display or look elsewhere before it shuts down.
