Question Dark Mode: Why do my windows have a brown tint ?

[TheFlyingCelt]

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if it's always been like this - I doubt it - but my windows have a brown tint. I looked everywhere in my system and on the internet but I can't figure out how to change that.

Any idea?

Thanks

That's a bit vague. What windows have a brown tint, or do you mean everything on the screen is affected?

If it's the latter then head over to Settings -> System -> Display -> Night light. Toggle it off it's currently enabled.

Hi @Secret-Squirrel
I attach a screenshot here to show you what I mean. Sorry for not having explained well in the first place perhaps.
I wish to use dark theme but the dark is not black/dark gray, but as you can see from the context menu, it's brownish. All brownish (taskbad included) apart from the in-focus window which turn blueish as I have transparency setting "on" and my desktop wallpaper is blue.

This is whatsapp in dark mode compared to black

Go into Settings/Personalization/Colors
Change Accent Color to manual and set your Accent Color.
It currently is set to Brown.

You can also experiment with changing transparency on/off.

The accent color is set to blue as is by default.
I played around with everything but nothing affects that brown.
I never installed any software that may have tweaked the system.
I don't understand...

Please let me know why do my Windows have a brown tint when using Dark Mode? Is this normal, or is there a setting or issue causing the color to appear off, and how can I fix it?
