iPad screen colours not right

I was watching Netflix on my iPad (air 2) when it shut off and on again but when it came on the colours were not quite right, it almost looks inverted but not everything is. I’ve restarted multiple times and checked my settings are correct. If I invert my screen colours, it looks how the inverted colours are meant to look. Not sure what’s happened.

If the screen colours appear to be distorted or unnatural, you need to check some key Accessibility settings that are intended to compensate for specific colour-vision issues:


Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size




Ensure that all settings enclosed within the red box above are switched OFF/Disabled.



If your iPad settings are as expected, but the problem persists, perform a forced restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software or performance issue:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
