Windows 11 Tests 'Screen Tint' Accessibility Tool With Customizable Color Overlays

The hidden preview points to broader display controls aimed at easing visual strain.

Overview

  • A hidden Screen Tint page appears in Windows 11 preview build 26300.8289 in Settings under Accessibility, first spotted by Windows Insider phantomofearth and verified by Windows Latest.
  • The tool includes six presets—calm amber, rose, soft yellow, cool blue, gentle green, and natural gray—described as helping with glare, migraine triggers, reading discomfort, photophobia, or harsh black‑white contrast.
  • A Custom tint option lets users pick any color and set the intensity using a strength slider.
  • In Windows Latest’s tests, the feature was unstable, with screen flicker and colors often failing to apply, signaling early development.
  • Microsoft has not announced the feature or a rollout timeline, and reports frame Screen Tint as a separate, more advanced option rather than a replacement for the Night Light blue‑light filter.
