Colors distorted after sleep (macOS Sierra)

I have almost simuler problem of color distortion. The screen when shuting down the Imac, a distorted look appears as if scrambled picture but in colors. It doesn't happen all the time. Only in shut down. Now its' starting to lag when browsing in internet. Plus openning up certain windows , it shows part of data. Have to close window screen and reopen to see all data. I've calibrated the colors and brightness still same problem. I'm thinking I may have a bad graphics or hard drive. I don't know if we can replace graphics card if there is one to replace.

Yep, that's what I thought (wait for the update, and the next update), now I'm on 10.12.2 and after almost every waking up my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) I have to change the color profile to fix the reduced colors. I guess I'll be waiting for what a 10.12.3 might bring.

Therein lies the problem. There's something in the Sierra graphics drivers. Some have theorized that Sierra loads the resolution settings later than Capitan does and that creates a problem. Hopefully, at some point Apple gets around to addressing it.

I had the same issue as well after upgrading to Sierra and my configuration is the same as yours. I had so far done a fresh reinstall to no avail. The Mac was working fine one El Capitan and all this happen after Sierra.

Apple please fixed it... it is really irritating to see the distorted image every time I recover from sleep!

I do experiencing this wired color fading (artistic color kind of) problem sometimes after screen wakes up! Mine is early 2015 Macbook Pro. The moment I noticed this problem a couple of months before, I immediately googled to see if anyone reports this problem. No one reported the same problem few months before. Now, I am seeing quite a few folks experiencing this problem.

As everyone commonly stated, this problem start surfacing only in Sierra. I have also started noticing this problem after migrated to Sierra. Also, the problem still comes even after I unselect "Automatically adjust brightness" in Display preferences.

I guess there was a fix related to this color distortion issue has been released as part of the current Sierra version 10.12.3. However, the fix didn't address this color distortion completely as I am still facing it even after migrated to the latest version!

This sounds pretty much like a software issue rather than a hardware issue. Waiting to know the root cause of this issue.

I am also experiencing this issue on the most recent version of High Sierra. I only occurs for a second or two after wakeup. The screen then reverts back to a normal color profile. There is also a reddit thread that is starting to pickup some traction on the issue. Hopefully it gets noticed and resolved soon.

Same issue on MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) after installing macoshigh sierra version 10.13 (17A405) It is so scary for the first time I face such a problem I had it on my iPhone when restarting and was fixed after updating to newer software

Same Problem here (strange color appears when wake up my screen laptop and it will back to normal after seconds)?? any solution ? Apple must know about this problem so they can fix in the next update ?? MBP 13' 2015.

Same problem here!!!! only after sleep, for a second or two, I see disorted colors. Last night I contacted Apple Support with chat, I did it tree times, I even was chatting with Senior Advisor but they didn't help me.
I hope we will find solution soon.
MBP 13' 2015

Unfortunately Apple is going to great lengths not to acknowledge the problem. It is almost certainly a GPU problem. It only occurs in MPB 13 early 2015. Do a search on the net and you will notice that the problem started to occur as soon as late 2015 and in 2016.

Apple stays mute, while more and more people seem to be impacted.

Two things: 1. It happens only with MPB 13, early 2015 machines, 2. There are reports dating back to 2016 complaining about the same issue, but most users experiencing the distortion since the introduction of High Sierra.

Hi,

Even I am facing the same problem. I also approached Apple store which is of no use. They doesn't help in anyway. They just reinstalled my iOS which is of no use. Its the same , whenever system starts from sleep mode I can see distorted colours for few seconds.

Thanks

Same here as the other disorientated screen the moment after waking up from sleep mode. Also early 2015 MBP with High Sierra. It's ridiculous that we pay for a premium machine, yet problems like this occur and Apple simply ignores it. One of the reason I switched to a Mac is Apple's reputation for good customer service and quick software updates.

You guys need to report this issue to Apple. I tried to link this discussion board to the service rep online and they refused to look at it. They said they did not have access and these boards are for the customers. The only way they can be made aware of the issue is to bring it up to them so they can have their engineers look at the problem.
