Using multiple color filters at once

I would like to use the accessibility shortcut to activate a color filter and give the screen a red hue, reducing blue light in the evenings. However, I am also color blind, and would like to use one of the color blindness filters during the day. Is it possible to easily switch between the two with a shortcut, rather than diving through the menu each time? Ideally a triple-press of the side button would bring up a menu where I can select either of the two color filters. Perhaps there’s a way to do this with shortcuts, but I haven’t figured that out.


Thanks!

It won’t be possible to toggle between 2 color filters using Shortcuts. It is possible, though, to turn on or off a color filter using the “Set Color Filters” action. You just can’t switch between 2 filters.


An alternative would be to create a shortcut that brings you directly to the color filters options in Settings. To do so, add the “Open URLs” action and paste the following path:

prefs://root=ACCESSIBILITY&path=DISPLAY_AND_TEXT/DISPLAY_FILTER_COLOR


This is what you should see:
