Windows 8 pale colors

Question

Just switched to Windows 8 and I noticed that the colors on some webpages are not the same as on my old laptop. On Windows 8 they look pale and I wonder if there is a problem with the depth of the colors or bad configuration on my OS. Is there somewhere where I can check my graphic card configuration or tweak the color confs?

I found colours on my laptop looked washed out, but Windows Screen Calibration fixed it up nicely.

To complete this routine:

on the desktop, open Control Panel from the Charms Bar
select Colour Management:
switch to the Advanced tab
click Calibrate display:
