There are many reasons why the screen colors of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are changing, ranging from system settings for eye comfort to software or technical issues. [1, 2]
Here are the top reasons and solutions suggested based on the type of color change:
1. Automatic system settings (most common reasons)
Eye Comfort Shield: This feature makes screen colors tilt yellow or orange to reduce blue light, especially in the evening. Adaptive Color Tone: A new feature that uses the camera to adjust the white balance based on ambient lighting, which can make the screen look “warmer” (Tend to yellow) in low light. Screen Mode: Screen Mode: The screen may be set to "normal" mode (natural) rather than “vivid” (Vivid), making the colors look dull or less saturated. Accessibility Features: Activate options like “Color Correction” or “reverse colors” or “color adjustment” Accidentally it may radically change the appearance of the screen. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
2. Software issues after updates
Some users reported a change in color accuracy or the appearance of faded out colors after system updates. In some cases, the screen may appear gray or the color quality is affected by the activation of features such as “extra dim (Extra Dim). [6, 7, 8, 9]
3. Technical issues (Hardware)
Flashes or shades of green: In rare cases, the screen may appear green at very low brightness levels, which may require a software update or inspection at the maintenance center if the problem persists. Screen damage: Colorful lines or sudden discoloration that does not disappear by changing settings may indicate damage to the AMOLED panel or its internal connections. [2, 10, 11, 12]
Quick steps to solve:
Head to Settings > Screen and turn off "Eye Comfort Shield" and "Adaptive Color Tone". make sure to set the "screen style" Vivid (bright) and balance the white to your liking. Check Settings > Accessibility > Visibility Improvements to ensure any color filters are turned off. [1, 7, 13]
