How can I adjust Dell U2725QE for MacBook color match?

Hey folks! Just bought my Dell U2725QE and i'm having a little bit of trouble trying to match the macbook pro screen color.

Is there any adjustment to make it more close to the mac screen?

It seems my dell screen is a little bit warmer.

I know that it's impossible to make them 100% equal, but is there a way to make it looks precisely better?

Color matching is done through ColorSync. That's Apple's software calibration available through its Apple menu -> System Settings -> Displays under Color Profile. Not all monitors are ColorSync aware. There are third party calibration tools that include a suction cap camera you can attach to a display that offer hardware calibration settings.

ViewSonic and NEC I'm aware both offer monitors that support ColorSync. Dell might have some monitors that do. Most likely if it does, it does through digital connections such as USB-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI and Displayport. DVI and VGA don't offer as good a chance at calibration.
