Hello Joseph,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, installing and running the
latest upstream kernel, version 4.18.4-041804.201808220230, did not
solve my problem - the banding is still clearly visible, so I added an
appropriate tag.

Title:
[Regression] Colour banding appears on Lenovo B50-80 integrated
display
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The problem affects the integrated display on a Lenovo B50-80
notebook.
Colour banding is visible everywhere on the system, as dithering seems
not to be enabled on this 6bpp display. This issue was not present on
non-HWE Ubuntu 16.04, and it showed up after I upgraded to Ubuntu
18.04. There was already a very similar bug #1749420 that had a fix
released, however, because the make and model of an LCD screen in that
case was different, the quirk added to the kernel did not address the
problem that affects my machine. The cause of this issue is probably
the same, since I have checked that pre-4.8.0-rc2 kernels handled
dithering correctly, and 4.8.0-rc2 and later kernels already had the
bug described. I believe that adding quirk for an another type of
display may fix the problem.
I attached the results of running
sudo get-edid | parse-edid in a file named edid.txt
and
sudo get-edid | edid-decode in a file named edid-decoded.txt.
