Screen Color Changes Randomly

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (2020) and yesterday it started doing this random thing where it changes almost everything on my screen to a different color my home screen is beige and when this sudden change of color happens it turns pink and I've noticed the widgets I have don't change color it creates a border around them and my app icons on the bottom have some shadow on them I've tried resetting it I've updated and reset it I've had it off for the past like 18 hours or so hoping that it would go away on its on I will say my MacBook does randomly overheat I can have it on a hard surface perfect for ventilation and it still becomes incredibly hot even unplugged not sure if that would do something to the screen but again this randomly started yesterday I've had the laptop for over a year now and I've never had this problem.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.3
