Hi! Why is it that sometimes, the hue of the blacks or dark colors on my Macbook, especially apps that are made by apple, change their hue randomly to a purple-ish color (as shown in the photos below).
I've tried changing a few things on the Display settings on System Preferences, it goes away for a while. but it still keeps coming back randomly.
Hope you guys can help, thanks!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're seeing issues on the MacBook Air screen with the hues. First, consider the environment in which this happens. Does this seem to happen only when you’re at home or at certain parts of the day? If so, the colors might be adjusting to match the ambient light so that images appear more natural.
