How to Use Color Filters in Windows 11

The Night light feature in Windows 11 is used to reduce eye strain. If you’re still having trouble seeing what’s on your screen, try using the built-in color filters in Windows 11. It will assist you in distinguishing between items that only differ in color. This alters the color palette of objects on the screen, increasing contrast and possibly allowing you to see more clearly. People with vision loss or color vision deficiencies may benefit from Windows 11’s built-in color filters.
