About this tag
Screen tint is an experimental Windows 11 accessibility feature spotted in Insider Preview builds that applies a customizable color overlay across the entire display. Unlike the existing Night Light, screen tint offers preset tints such as amber, rose, yellow, blue, green, and gray, along with a strength slider and custom color selection. Found in builds 26300.8289 and 26300.8497, the feature is accessed via Settings > Accessibility > Vision and is still in early engineering, with reports of flickering or inconsistent application. Screen tint aims to help users with light sensitivity, eye fatigue, or migraine triggers by softening harsh pixels, reflecting Microsoft's shift toward making accessibility a core part of the Windows experience.
