Color Screen

Pick a color to fill the screen, or press the button to start. Once full-screen, use the arrow keys or on-screen swatches to switch color and Esc to exit.

Cycle every color to check the whole panel.

Fill your whole display with one solid color — red, green, blue, white, black and more. Great for color checks, testing red/green/blue sub-pixels, spotting backlight bleed, or as simple full-screen mood lighting.

What a Color Screen Is For

Each solid color reveals something different about a display. Running through them is a quick, no-software way to judge panel quality.

1

Test sub-pixels

Set solid red, green and blue in turn. Each screen should be one even shade — a dead sub-pixel leaves a dark dot and a stuck one shows the wrong color. The dead pixel test automates this cycle, and the stuck pixel fixer can sometimes clear a stuck sub-pixel.

2

Check black & backlight

A solid black screen shows backlight bleed and “IPS glow” as lighter patches near the edges — useful when comparing panels or checking a new monitor in a dark room. The monitor test runs the same checks as a guided sequence.

3

Mood light & background

A full field of color makes quick mood lighting, a colored backdrop for photos and video, or a solid green for a makeshift chroma-key. Turn brightness up for the strongest effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a color screen tool for?
A color screen tool fills the whole display with one solid color so you can check color accuracy, test the individual red, green and blue sub-pixels, and reveal stuck or dead pixels. Solid black shows backlight bleed and IPS glow near the panel edges, while solid white shows trapped dust and dead pixels. A single flat field also exposes tint, patchiness and uneven brightness that a busy desktop hides. The same full-screen fill doubles as mood lighting, a colored backdrop for photos, or a makeshift chroma-key green.
How do I test red, green and blue sub-pixels?
To test red, green and blue sub-pixels, set the screen to solid red, then green, then blue in turn. On each color the whole panel should be one even shade. A sub-pixel that is dead leaves a dark dot, and a stuck sub-pixel shows the wrong color. For an automatic run-through, use the dead pixel test page.
Does the color screen work on a phone or TV?
The color screen works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV. Tap the screen to show the controls and change color. The solid-color fill always works, even on devices where full-screen support is limited. On a TV, open the page in the built-in browser or cast the tab from a laptop.
Is anything uploaded or installed?
The color screen tool uploads nothing and needs no install. It runs entirely in your browser, with no account, no download and no data leaving your device. Once the page has loaded it keeps working offline. For a single fixed color, the plain white screen and black screen pages do the same job in one click.
