The colors of my ipad is messed up

I was using my ipad and all of a sudden the colors are messed up. They are in a bad dark mood. I tried every solution in internet including restarting but it was not fixed. How can I return normal colors of my ipad.

iPad Air 2, 15

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]
