Weird pixelated startup screen?

My 2021 Macbook Pro died on me so when I plugged the charger and it restarted it there was this weird ROYGBIV discoloration and segmented load bar. It was only there for a couple of seconds before the apple login popped up but it made me concerned. Is there something wrong with my software?

Hi,

It could be possible that your MacBook Pro has hardware related issue. You'd better check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports error, graphic related error.

If it doesn't help, or error would be reported, you'd better contact Apple Support or take your MacBook Pro to your local retail AppleStore, Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider to be examined your MacBook Pro there.
