Just get this and do it yourself. It will cost probably same in Kuwait if someone is doing that.
Here's an image from Wikipedia on the topic of color spaces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB#/media/File:CIE1931xy_gamut_comparison.svg

And as for color calibration, look into something known as a colorimeter like the one I've linked hear. It takes a few minutes but it's mostly an automated process. https://www.amazon.com/Datacolor-SpyderX-Pro-Calibration-Photographers/dp/B07M6KPJ9K/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=15H1Z71XRQUJJ&keywords=colorimeter&qid=1572185697&sprefix=colorim%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNEtBTFMwMFg3QTQ2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTI3NDMzSUozSlFaWTJaNkhWJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwMTQ5OTkxMkJLSTNaUTFDNUhSJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

You need a grading monitor.
To get your monitors close, you can get an external color monitor calibrator tool for $120 or so. They run special software that adjusts your monitor to a more neutral look.
Both Windows and MacOS adjust the color of the monitor, and can adjust it, to whatever you want. Also, coupled with the external monitor on a desktop being able to adjust the color even more after the fact.

Yes, if you grade on your windows monitor, it will look different on your mac.

I have one of the above, and it works OK.
It does not replace a properly calibrated $15,000 studio monitor by any means.
If you really want a good rec.709 display, get an old Plasma TV - that would be the best start.
