Huawei: Turn On Colour Correction for Vision Impairments

If reds and greens look almost identical on your Huawei phone, the standard display palette may not suit a colour vision deficiency. Icons, charts and notification badges that rely purely on colour can become hard to distinguish. EMUI offers several correction modes built for exactly this situation.

Colour Correction Setup auf Huawei

Colour correction on Huawei phones adjusts the entire display palette so people with red-green or blue-yellow vision deficiencies can distinguish elements more easily. The feature does not change brightness or contrast on its own; it remaps specific hue ranges so icons, graphs and status colours stay recognisable.

The setting sits inside the accessibility tools of EMUI, separate from Dark mode or Eye comfort, because it targets colour perception rather than screen brightness or blue light.

To reach it, follow this path:

Open the settingsTap on Accessibility featuresTap on AccessibilityTap on Colour correctionActivate or deactivate Colour correctionTap on Correction modeChoose a correction mode

Once active, pick the mode matching the type of colour vision deficiency: Deuteranomaly and Protanomaly both target red-green confusion, while a third mode covers blue-yellow shifts. Switching modes updates the display instantly, so you can compare them before settling on one.

If colours look fine but text or icons are simply too small, colour correction is not the right fix; look at font size or display scaling instead. Turning the feature off restores the original colour palette immediately, with no lasting changes to photos, videos or saved files.

Frequently asked questions

EMUI ships with modes for Deuteranomaly and Protanomaly, which both affect red-green perception, plus a mode for blue-yellow deficiencies. Pick the one under Correction mode that best matches how colours appear to you.
