screen color changes abruptly

I'm noticing a random color tint change. It is very slight and subtle, the screen goes from a bluish hue to a pinkish hue. The actual change in color is not very noticeable, but the shift when it occurs is noticeable.

when I use any application with white background color, I get to see this issue with the screen.

it is happening frequently. please help

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

iPhone 12 Pro OLED color un-uniformity Hello all, I noticed a colour un-uniformity on my new iPhone 12 Pro OLED display when white background is used. As you can (hopefully) see on the screenshot, a slightly color gradient appears on the screen. On the right side, the white has a different hue than on the left side of the OLED screen. This especially disturbes while reading text on white background since the background seems to slightly change the color hue from left to right. For this reason, I already swapped my iPhone 12 Pro only to see that the second iPhone has this problem, too. It does not matter if true tone or night shift is enabled or not. You especially can see this problem when the display is dimmed with true tone enabled. Then, you should see some areas on the display having different shapes of white color hues. I would like to ask if some of you have recognized this problem as well. Since I already swapped my Phone, I am a bit unsure if it maybe could be a general hardware (or software?) issue. Thanks for your feedback and best regards, Ben

Depending on the model of your MacBook Pro, this can be related to True Tone if you have a Retina and True Tone capable MacBook Pro. If you do then this happens automatically as light adjusts in front of your display and your eyes.
