When Auto Brightness is turned off, the phone screen dims in the sun. In the shade, it does not return to normal over time. To restore the original colors, you need to turn Auto Brightness on and off or reboot the phone.
Happens mostly when the phone's brightness is turned to maximum when there is no Auto Brightness turned on. Black colors seem to turn gray.

Hello relsson,
There are actually two different places to adjust automatic brightness. You can see the steps to turn both of them off below:
If you think the screen is still changing with these set to off, tap on Settings > Displays & Brightness. Note where the Brightness slider is set. When you think the brightness has changed, come back to the slider and see if it is where it was left.
If it has moved, we would suggest reaching out to Apple Support here: Get Support
They will be in the best position to assist further.
Cheers.
