Laptop screen shows colors tending to gray

I have a Dell Precision 6600, under 16.04LTS.
Sometimes I find that colors turn in general to somewhat gray (as it is now, and I cannot get out of this).
Then, for some unknown reason, the screen comes back to normal.
Checking pure white (FFFFFF) for instance shows as gray, in any application.
I tried answers here:
How do I adjust the screen contrast?
Script to display all terminal colors
What can I do to solve this?
A reboot (or even a logout) possibly solves this, but I mean to identify the cause and solve it without logging out.

I had several windows from screenshots open.
Each of them lightly shifted colors towards gray, with the result being a noticeable change.
Closing each one of them gradually removed that tendency, finally leading to a "healthy" image.
