When we adjust color setting the current color temperature will be memorized before it auto switch to "User". Because the memorized color temperature will be a base of "User". For example:

1.) Colour temp. is Mid

2.) User creates his favorite color based on "Mid" setting of colour temperature. So when user switches colour temp. to "User", will find the image color temperature close to "Mid".
