MacBook Pro Touch Bar not displaying colour

I have a new MacBook Pro, which is working fine.


My Touch Bar is showing all icons, but the icons including Emojis are not showing in colour. Please help, I've tried a full reset this didn't help.


Any ideas?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, tyrone og!


It sounds like the Touch Bar on your MacBook Pro is not displaying the correct colors. Let's start by trying the following suggestions, testing if your Touch Bar starts working again after each step:


  1. Check out this article for How to reset the SMC of your Mac.
  2. Take a look at this article with steps to follow for How to use safe mode on your Mac. This will perform checks and stop certain software from starting up automatically. 


Let us know the results and have a wonderful day!
