iphone se displays wrong colors

Having issue where colors display incorrectly. For example: when I return to the screen that has my mail app, the mail icon turns orange momentarily then to it's normal blue color. Photos in news apps sometimes appear as negatives. Other apps I use frequently have totally wrong colors. I have rebooted multiple times, upgraded to 15.2.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Good afternoon Doug39-10,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you are having issues with the color on your iPhone SE, and we'd like to help.

Check to see if you have "Invert Colors" enabled by mistake in the Settings app. Tap Accessibility > Display & Test Size to adjust the settings. Restart your iPhone to see if that resolves the issue.


The resources below will provide some guidance:


Use display and text size preferences on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


If the issue persists, you may need to reach out to Apple for help with this:


Contact Apple for support and service


Take care.
