Light pink screen where it should be white

[sfrrr]

Pixel xl. Latest upgrade. Nova launcher. On every page *except* the home screen, where there should be a white background, it is pale pink. It looks to me like it's left over from a blue light night filter program I uninstalled. But maybe not. In any case, I've been though every display and assistive setting I can find, and the settings that might alter the color or shade of the screen and nothing is set to On. Besides a full reset, anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

To MethodMan--I couldn't find that setting anywhere on my Pixel XL. I did find a comparable screen on my Note 9, but not on my Pixel XL. It does look like it might help, but where is it hidden on the old Pixels?

Thanks,

Try Settings, Display, Visibility Enhancements, then check Color Adjustment and Color Lens. I've added a screen shot for color lens.
Good luck

I now definitely and definitively say that setting didn't exist on my Pixel XL. I have it on my Note 9, but not on the older phone. I guess it's too old, even though it's running Android 10. But thanks for trying. If I solve the problem, I'll report back.

Thanks.

This is a sequitur to the pink discussion, I swear, although it won't be immediately obvious.

I noticed a little belatedly that in addition to the pinkish caste to all of my screens, most noticeable on what should be a white background, I can see the ghost of my Swiftkey keyboard in little pinkish white. Like burn in on the old CRT monitors. I've changed to the Google swiping keyboard, but I still see not the ghost of a Google keyboard but the ghost of the *Swiftkey* keyboard.

This is true on my Samsung Note 9 screen too.

The Swiftkey keyboard has ”burned” in on to two, count 'em 2, screens.

As far as I know, you can't burn in one of these displays.

I did a soft reset after switching away from Swiftkey, but I haven't uninstalled Swiftkey completely nor have I done a hard reset. And I don't really want to give it up completely because it has so many convenient features compared to other swipers.

So, basically, I'm asking: is there such a thing as ghosting or burn-in and/or do you have any suggestions before a hard reset or, almost as bad, calling Google or Microsoft and sitting on hold forever?

Thanks,

Maybe a visit to the repair shop for a hardware dx?

You're right. Sigh.

Denouement to this whole adventure. The pixel XL screen is pooched. Fini. Dead as a doornail. It's becoming progressively ever pinker. I did a factory reset, then tried it again. It's gone. Oddly enough, the ghost of the Swiftkey keyboard is still there, getting darker. I shouldn't complain--I've been using it since the month it hit the stores. And using it and using it.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help.
