An electronic device may generate content that is to be displayed on a display. The display may have an array of pixels each of which includes subpixels of different colors. The content that is to be displayed on the display may include an object such as a black object that is moved across a background. Due to differences in subpixel values in the background for subpixels of different colors, there is a potential for color motion blur to develop along a trailing edge portion of the object as the object is moved across the background. The electronic device may have a blur abatement image processor that processes the content to reduce color motion blur. The blur abatement image processor may identify which pixels are located in the trailing edge and may adjust subpixel values for pixels in the trailing edge.
