What Am I Using?
Screen colours look wrong?
Find whether unusual screen colours come from a night mode, colour filter, individual display preset or the app showing the image.
Do the changed colours appear on every screen and in several apps?
Compare the same photo in two apps. If available, move it to a second display.
Device and operating system
Check system colour and accessibility settings
Night modes, accessibility filters and HDR can change colours across apps.
- Check whether a night or colour filter is scheduled. Keep any accessibility setting you rely on.
- Record the original settings. Compare with one optional filter temporarily switched off, then restore it if needed.
Isolate the display or app setting
Individual monitors and apps can apply their own colour modes.
- Check the monitor’s preset, or open the same file in a second app to compare.
- If the fault follows a cable or input, reconnect it and try a known working cable before changing colour profiles.
Check for a scheduled change
A change at a predictable time often comes from an automatic display mode.
- Note the time and affected screen. Look for Night Light, Night Shift or a colour filter.
- If colours also look wrong on the manufacturer logo at startup, tell device support.
