One of the useful features in the accessibility menu is the colour adjustment. This option is designed to help improving accessibility for the user who are colour blind or have difficulty to read the content because the colors.

  2. Tap My device tab.
  3. Scroll down to find Accessibility, then tap it.

As a note, to get the best result, do the initial colour adjustment process in an environment with normal indoor lighting. FYI, I've tried this option and the result is that I don't need to adjust the display colour. So, how about you? Have you tried this option?

  1. I have great trouble reading turquoise on grey background. Turquoise is the colour used to highlight the suggested word when I type. I tried the Colour Adjustment and it came up that adjustment wasn't necessary. It isn't, I just need the highlighted type colour to stand out from the background not disappear into it. I tried to reset the colour adustment to see if I could maybe tweak it but can't see how to do that.
