I am currently designing a site and working with two different screens (laptop plugged into one or the other)

I worked all day with one plugged in and felt the site was too white. I therefore turned the desigin into a blue based background.

When I got home the white one was actually alright and the blue one was too dark. I therefore played with my screen luminosity and tried to make it look as white/blue as before and went from 70 to 80 in screen luminosity (not touched the contrast).

My question really is do you know what are the default factory settings for computer screen. Also are these figures tested across different makes of screens and therefore are they reliable i.e. 70 luminosity on one screen is not going to be equal to 60 on one screen and 80 on another.
