Nobody should have True Tone or Night Shift enabled for their Mac while designing, unless you specifically want to test how True Tone and Night Shift affect the design. I also disable True Tone and Night Shift on my iOS devices. It absolutely destroys colour accuracy. The science on Night Shift is incredibly shaky, and I don’t buy the argument around it helping sleep (hey, how about just turning the brightness down?).
I’m all for people tinting their displays if they want, but it’s a bad idea when you’re designing, if you care at all about colour accuracy.
This question came up at work this morning, and I didn't see an answer to this anywhere else... so here goes.
Absolutely not.
