Systems and methods for color correcting images are described. An example method includes receiving, at a first and second time: first and second image data from an imaging device of a medical imaging system captured during a medical procedure; and a first and second value of an operating parameter of a light source of the medical imaging system, where a color of light emitted from the light source shifts based on values of the operating parameter. A first color shift is determined based on the first value, and a color correction function is applied to the first image data to compensate for the first color shift to generate first color corrected image data. A second color shift is determined based on the second value, and the color correction function is applied to the second image data to compensate for the second color shift to generate second color corrected image data.
