Samsung: Turn On Color Correction for Visual Impairments

If reds and greens blend together on your Samsung screen, or blue tones look washed out, reading charts, icons and notifications gets harder. This is usually not a display defect but an unadjusted color vision setting. Samsung includes filters for different types of color blindness, but they only help once enabled and matched to the right type.

Turn On/Off Color Correction auf Samsung

Color correction sits inside the visibility tools built for users with red-green or blue-yellow color vision deficiencies, known as Deuteranomaly, Protanomaly and Tritanomaly. Once enabled, the system applies a color filter across the entire interface, not just single apps, so icons, photos and menus shift toward tones that are easier to distinguish.

You reach the toggle through Tap on SettingsTap on AccessibilityTap on Visibility enhancementsTap on Color correctionEnable or disable Use Color correctionChoose an option. The last step lets you pick the correction type that matches your color vision, since each one shifts a different part of the spectrum.

If your screen looks fine to you but photos seem dull or overly warm, the cause is more likely a display mode or color balance setting, not this accessibility filter. Turning on the wrong correction type can make colors look unnatural for someone without a color vision deficiency, so only enable it if you actually notice trouble telling colors apart.

The filter applies system-wide and stays active until you disable it or switch the option back, so check this setting first if colors suddenly look off after a factory reset or software update.
