Background to passcode colors

Hello,

I've always wondered why my ipod 5 is different than everyone else's iphone and ipod 5 products. On a regular ipod or iphone 4 or higher that has ios 7, the passcode numbers reflect the colors of the lockscreen and the bottom of the home screen's buttons reflect the home screen background . Mine on the other hand does something different . for my passcode numbers , it's all one big color that summarizes my lockscreen. For my home screen , all the grouped folders are grey and the bottom of my home screen is grey . Is there anyway that this could get changed and be back to normal ?

THanks !

ps : the first image is my ipod , the second image is a friends ipod.

iPod touch, iOS 7.1.2

This worked up to the point where you are at the Increase Contrast screen. On that screen be sure "Reduce Transparency" button is not turned on. Go back to passcode screen & you will see that it is no longer gray but is now black background with white numbers which is MUCH easier to read than the gray.

I tied the suggestions above as when I need to use my passcode the background is gray and I can’t get it off my IPhone 7 any suggestions besides having to go to a Apple store?

It did not work for me.
