How to turn off black and white on Samsung

If your Samsung Galaxy phone display is looking black and white and not showing any color, it could be due to the recent change in a few settings in your phone. You need to check if you have enabled the Bedtime, Dark mode, or Visibility enhancements mode functions in your Samsung Galaxy phone.

If any of the above features are enabled in your Samsung phone by mistake then you need to disable it to get back your screen to normal. You can now try the below-mentioned steps to disable these features in your Samsung Galaxy phone.

Turn off the sleep mode feature

Sleep mode is a feature in Samsung phones that is designed to reduce eyestrain at night hours. The sleep mode feature changes the screen color to black and white when enabled. So you need to disable it on your Samsung phone.

The sleep mode feature works on a scheduled basis so it will be daily at night and disabled in the morning every day. So if your Galaxy phone is following this pattern then there are chances that sleep mode is enabled on your Samsung phone.

Steps to turn off the sleep mode on Galaxy device are as follows:

  • Go to System Settings on your Samsung phone.
  • Tap on the Modes and Routines option.
  • Swipe and tap on the Sleep option.
  • Tap on Turn Off to disable the sleep mode.
  • Here you can also change the settings, you can disable the grayscale, and try other features.

Turn off the dark mode

Dark mode is a feature that turns your screen dark with colors. Dark Mode is also known as Night Mode in some Samsung models. If you are seeing your phone screen black with other colors then there are chances that the dark mode is enabled on your Samsung phone. You need to disable the dark mode in your phone to turn back its screen to normal or light mode.

Steps to turn off the Dark mode on Galaxy devices are as follows:

  • Go to System Settings on your Samsung phone.
  • Tap on the Display option.
  • Tap on Light to disable Dark mode.

You can also disable the Dark mode in your Samsung phone from Quick Settings. Quick Settings can be opened by swiping down from top to bottom on any screen on your phone.

Find the Dark mode option in Quick settings and tap to disable it if it is already enabled.

Turn off Accessibility options

Samsung has Accessibility options to help people with vision loss or blindness. Some of the Accessibility options change the screen color to black and white because there is no use of colors for the blind or people with vision loss.

You need to disable the accessibility option to turn your screen back to normal mode. Accessibility options can be helpful for blind people but can be very irritating for normal users.

Steps to turn off the Accessibility mode on Galaxy devices are as follows:

  • Tap on the Accessibility option.
  • Tap on Visibility enhancements.
  • Then tap on the Color Adjustments.
  • Now tap on the Switch to turn off color adjustment.

If you have disabled all the above-mentioned three features including Accessibility mode, Dark mode, and sleep mode then your screen will turn back to normal.

Disable bedtime mode

All the colors on your Samsung phone screen will show in grayscale if Bedtime mode is enabled in your Samsung phone. This feature is to help and prepare yourself for bedtime as it will show fewer colors and low contrast. This feature reduces eye strain and prevents sleep disturbances before going to sleep.

Go to Settings >> Digital Wellbeing and parental controls >> Bedtime mode and Disable the turn-on as scheduled.
