people like me always reset them once purchased

How? I have a new monitor with a panel that is pre-set to reduce eye strain paired with one that is absolutely trying to look good on a show floor. So flux is great for the old monitor but makes the new one un-ignorably orange.

Yes. They both should be set to same color temperature. If both set to same they both will look white. If not the lower color temperature will look yellow or maybe even orange. Eye color perception is largely relative and adaptive.

So my monitor has a setup menu. I open that. Select color adjust, then select the setting. My setting options are sRGB, 9300K, 7500K, 6500K, 5000K, and User white point setting. Lot of monitors are set by default to 9300K which is way blue. SRGB or 6500K is most color correct and both 6500K color tempetature. Mine is actually set to 5000K at the moment.

You mentioned flux. Screen brightness is usually set by the contrast control and the brightness setting is usually to set the black level. Yes, I know strange.
