I've been using a Spyder Express 3 for calibrating my MacBook Pro. It's been great, have re-calibrated several times.

However the other day I did a re-calibration, and the colours just seem a little off. The greys seems to have a very slight green tinge. Could be my eyes, but it just doesn't look as well calibrated as previous times.

Anyone else had similar issues? Should I be getting my eyes checked or my calibration stuff? :)

Sometimes a calibration can get thrown off by something. Make sure there is neutral, dim lighting and try another round.

Thanks Tony. I made sure there was no bright reflected light off the screen, but next time will do it in the dark to see if that affects it.

Before calibration the software asks to set colour temps, brightness etc to neutral. I don't recall doing that last time, just clicked go. Wonder if I should go back and delete previous Spyder calibrations, set it back to the default colour profile, and start again.

There's nothing to reset on a MBP.

No need to. I would recalibrate in a very dim room, then, IMMEDIATELY run the software again. Make sure to not move the puck or display screen. Use the second run.
