Screen problem

I believe i have a problem with my Nexus S's screen. Where things should be grey they are very purple, but other times like in a picture grey object are grey! So could someone check for me by telling me what colour their notification background is. Mine is very obviously purple and i will upload a picture as proof, is this just me or are others experiencing this issue? Thanks
(You can tell by looking at the notification bar and then at the notification drop down area that the bar is black and the notif area is purple-y)
EDIT: After messing with brightness i can confirm this is only happening to me when mine is below around 25%, can others confirm this?

Mine is dark grey

whats your brightness setting?

Auto

My brightness was set to auto when that picture was taken, auto puts it down to below 25%. If i manually set my brightness to below 25% the notif area is very purple, if i set it to anything above about 60-70% then it goes normal and grey!?

Dark themes on S7 OLED display

Is darks themes for S7 backlighting only text and icons so background staying not backlighted?
Can this sort of themes affect the display after a while?

Yes, but only if the background is black. The only effect it would have is not lighting those pixels where the black is, which should save battery.

I checked in the dark and I can confirm that dark background is not shining at all so this themes really saving a power.
So will the screen stop to functioning properly after a while if using these sort of themes with a dark background?

No. It actually prolong its life.

Is it possible your obscuring the light with your hand or fingers causing the phone to constantly adjust to what it thinks is changing light conditions?

its possible, if the sensor is on the bottom bezel. never had this issue w/ my n4,5,5x, or p1 though.

My problem is more that the brightness doesn't adjust itself enough. If I'm on auto-brightness and in a pitch black room, my phone blinds me because it doesn't adjust.
What is everyone else using for display settings? I've enabled 'Adaptive brightness' but it's doesn't adjust very well. I prefer not to have to go to something 3rd party like Lux.

Mine micro adjusts in a dark room it's not terrible but it's enough to be annoying while reading because it grabs your attention. More noticeable on white backgrounds.

Temporary fix for incorrect display of color saturation

Just a heads up to everyone who has an S10e The color saturation of the screen even when Vivid is enabled doesn't display the saturation correctly... To fix this "enable blue light filter" and set it at the lowest possible then go back and look at a picture, you will see how it is no longer washed out.
You can see the correct color saturation with "blue light filter" off while in the recent apps screen but once you return to the image it washes out. I figured out applying "blue light filter" corrects it for now!
I hope this helps!!!
I assume they are going to fix this in a future update. Cheers! ?

Seleting vivid to me doesn't do what it should be doing.
I have found that applying "blue light filter" and setting it's effect to minimum fixes the color saturation and reverses the washed out look on images. Another way is to go into visibility enhancements -> color adjustment -> then either apply a filter there like "Tritan" or "personalize color" and follow the steps. To me I cannot see any difference between the above steps or just simply applying "blue light filter" set to minimum. To me both look to correct the color saturation about the same.

Hey is this happening after the latest update or its happening right out of the box

Out of the box. Having it too

We should write to Samsung about this so they could release an update guys !

Good catch!
Now I know the reason why my Motorola Z3 Play displays beautiful colors when browsing my pictures and the S10e looks dull.
I thought Motorola's AMOLED display is oversaturated. It turns out that there is a bug in the display of the S10e.
Thanks for this. I just applied blue light filter and now it's fixed.

I don't notice a huge difference
Can someone tell me how to see how Natural & Vivid are washed out?

It makes quite a bit of difference on natural. By default white looks kind of yellowish. By enabling the blue light filter on minimal it looks like theres actually more blue added to the color balance. Like the default has a blue light filter applied that's stronger and it gets unset by the filter.
May be that it's by design though. They did make a point that the s10's displays have 30% or so less blue light because it's better for health.
Before I had the screen set to vivid, temp centered and then the green slider all the way to the left and the red slider almost all the way to the left. And the blue slider all the way to the right. This seems like a much better color balance than the default as well. Offcourse you do get the oversatured old style 'Samsung' colors this way. It makes the whites seem a lot whiter.

I also noticed this when I compared the displays of my S8 side by side my new S10e. I used the same content and the colour saturation on the s10e was noticeably duller. The blue light filter trick on lowest seems to have resolved it for me also.
I'll have to tinker with the vivid colour channel settings for fun to see if that does the same.
Good catch

have you Tried using the use sRGB option in developer options?

Screen with pastel colors

Today I used the brightness to the maximum (because I went out to the street to stock up, city still in quarantine bah) and I realized that when hitting a lot of light on the screen the colors become more "pastel" so to speak and it is visually annoying . It should be noted that I have the color palette in saturated (not automatic) with the default color temperature and the sunlight mode disabled.
Is this normal or can it be disabled in some way?
PS: before I had a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Redmi Note 8 that the same thing happened but having the color palette in automatic
