How to Fix Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Display Color Calibration Issues

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has one of the most vibrant and accurate displays you can find. However, sometimes you might notice that colors look too warm, too cool, or simply off compared to what they should be.

This issue usually comes down to display settings, adaptive color modes, or software problems that affect how the screen renders tones. The good news is that most calibration issues can be fixed right from your phone’s settings.

Why Your Galaxy S25 Ultra Display Colors Look Off

• Screen mode is set to the wrong color profile.
• Adaptive color tone is affecting brightness and saturation.
• Third-party apps are interfering with display color.
• Temporary software glitch or outdated firmware.
• Blue light filter or Eye comfort shield is enabled.

Adjust Screen Mode.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra allows you to choose between different screen modes, each with its own color balance and saturation levels. Adjusting this can instantly fix color issues.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Display.
2. Tap Screen mode, and then choose either Vivid or Natural.

If you prefer custom tuning, select Vivid, and use the sliders below to fine-tune the White balance or RGB values to your liking.

Disable Eye Comfort Shield.

The Eye Comfort Shield filters blue light to make the display easier on your eyes, but it can also give the screen a yellow tint. Turning it off restores normal color temperature.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Display.
2. Tap Eye comfort shield, and then toggle the switch off.

After disabling it, check if the colors look more balanced and natural.

Check for Adaptive Color Tone.

Adaptive color tone automatically adjusts the display warmth based on lighting conditions. While helpful, it can cause inconsistent colors.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Display.
2. Scroll down and tap Adaptive color tone, and then toggle it off.

This ensures your display maintains consistent color tones regardless of ambient lighting.

Reset Display Settings.

Sometimes, previous display tweaks or color adjustments can cause calibration problems. Resetting display settings restores everything to the default color configuration.

1. Open Settings, and then tap General management.
2. Tap Reset, and then tap Reset settings.

This will revert all settings, including display adjustments, without deleting your personal data.

Update Your Phone.

Display calibration issues can also come from software bugs introduced in updates. Keeping your Galaxy S25 Ultra updated ensures the latest fixes are applied.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
2. Tap Download and install, and then follow the prompts if an update is available.

Once the update is complete, restart your device and check if the display colors improve.

Boot in Safe Mode.

If your screen looks fine in Safe Mode, a third-party app might be changing the color tone or brightness. Safe Mode helps you confirm this.

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap the Power icon.
2. Touch and hold the Power off option until Safe mode appears, then tap it.

Your device will restart in Safe Mode. If the colors look normal, uninstall recently installed apps that may affect the display, such as screen filters or photo editing tools.

Having proper color calibration makes your Galaxy S25 Ultra’s display look stunning again. Once these steps are complete, your screen should show vibrant and accurate colors just as Samsung intended.
