IIRC, I've heard of professional video monitors which are set to

Probably a good thing. In the early days of color TV the color values were
user adjustable. A generation grew up thinking Lorne Greene (Bonanza) had
a slightly green complexion to match his name.
Chuckle. That was back in what we called Never Twice Same Color days.
NTSC IOW. I'm a retired tv Chief Engineer and we as broadcasters always
had a vectorscope in front of the operator so he could adjust the color
if it wasn't right. Even if he was color blind! Human skin always has
the same color and it makes an excellent image on the vectorscope at a
certain angle. And it does not change that angle when the camera
switches from my white caucasian face to the blackest basketball or
football players, the difference is not the color, but the brightness.
A lesson I've had to demo to every colored person we ever hired by
showing him both of us on camera.
