Xiaomi: Adjust the Display Color Scheme

If photos, videos or app icons on your Xiaomi phone look washed out or overly intense, the display color scheme is likely set to the wrong profile. MIUI lets you switch between a natural, a vivid and a standard color rendering, plus fine-tune the color temperature manually. Picking the wrong option can make skin tones look off or colors appear flat.

Change Color Scheme auf Xiaomi

MIUI ships with three color rendering profiles that decide how saturated and warm colors appear across the whole system, not just in single apps. If greens, reds or skin tones look off in photos, videos or app icons, the wrong profile is usually active.

The Auto profile balances brightness and saturation dynamically and works well for most screens. Saturated pushes colors higher for a punchier look, though some panels render this with a slight color cast. Standard keeps colors close to the source material, useful for photo editing or color-accurate work.

To change it, open SettingsDisplayColor scheme. Choose between Auto, Saturated or Standard, then adjust the Color temperature slider to shift the tone warmer or cooler.

A cooler temperature adds a blue tint, a warmer one leans yellow-orange. This setting affects the whole interface, so test it in daylight and at night before settling on a value. If videos still look inaccurate after switching profiles, check the app's own playback settings, since some apps apply their own color filters independently of the system profile.

The color scheme affects the whole display output, including gallery previews. Switch to Standard under SettingsDisplayColor scheme for a preview closer to the original file.
