Systems and methods for adjusting a color space of a display. In one embodiment, the method for adjusting the color space of the display may include receiving image data to be rendered on the display and receiving an indication of an amount of ambient light impinging on the display. The method may then include rendering the image data in a first color space when the amount of ambient light is less than a threshold. Alternatively, the method may include rendering the image data in an expanded color space when the amount of ambient light is not less than the threshold. As such, the expanded color space may compensate for one or more color shifts in the image data caused by the ambient light.
