black and white apple watch screen

Hi,

Yesterday my apple Watch changed from colour screen to black and white and no I can't find how to get it back to colour again.

I have tried to restart the watch but still the screen is black and white only so no colour

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Hi MartinBerntsson,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand you no longer have color on your Apple Watch, and are unable to correct the issue.


It sounds like Grayscale may have been enabled.


"To assist users for whom color might impair visibility, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. After you set the filter, the settings apply system-wide."


"You can turn on and manage these features on your Apple Watch and from the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Vision."


The above information was taken directly from the following resource.


Cheers!
