My monitor has changed to a blue/orange color palette, how can I return it back to the original multi color palette?

Hi Rosanne Mays,

To help narrow this down, could you please provide:

• Which version of Windows you're using (Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, etc.)?
• Did the color change happen suddenly, or after a Windows update, driver update, or monitor setting change?
• Does the issue appear only in Windows, or is the color palette also blue/orange on the manufacturer's logo screen and in the BIOS/UEFI menu?
• Are you using an external monitor, or is this the built-in display on a laptop?
• If you take a screenshot and view it on another device, do the colors in the screenshot look normal or also blue/orange?

As a quick check, please try:

1. Press Windows + Ctrl + C once to see if a color filter was accidentally enabled.
2. Check whether Night Light (or a similar blue-light reduction feature) is turned on.
3. If you're using an external monitor, check the monitor's on-screen menu for any color mode such as Reading, Low Blue Light, or Warm mode.

The answers above will help determine whether this is a Windows accessibility setting, a display driver issue, or a monitor hardware/settings issue.
