iPad colours are weird

iPad 6th gen has gone all weird colours. It happened a few months ago and I thought that the solution was somewhere in the Accessibility settings but I can’t find that info this morning. Old solutions (2014) talk about smacking it onthe back but that doesn’t seem to help either. Current suggestions would be appreciated!

First, “smacking” or other physical intervention is not recommended - as internal damage may occur.


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.


Otherwise, depending upon your installed version of iOS/iPadOS, you’ll need to look at your Dark Mode settings:

Settings > Display & Brightness > [Appearance]
