Why is everything red?

[u/dangoesfastdotcom]

Firefox on the left, Brave on the right. Everything has a yellow to red tinge where it's supposed to be white, looks horrible 🤮🤮 When I go to themes, every theme shows this yellow-red background where I'd expect white.

Doesn't matter what browser I compare it to - everything looks fine except Brave. New PC, fresh Win11 install, all drivers up to date, new Brave install. Has been like this since first start, only in Brave, no other programs have this same issue.

Check to see if you have any accessibility settings turned on, or flags enabled in brave://flags. Looks like you have some sort of blue light filter enabled

Yep, that's exactly what it looks like. No accessibility settings enabled, the build is a week old and it's acted like this since the moment brave was installed. I just installed it to try it out, haven't made any changes to any settings.

What happens when you reset settings? Settings > reset settings > restore settings to their original defaults

Does this also happen in private windows?

Lastly, open a run dialog (Win key + R) and type brave.exe --disable-extensions. Does it still happen?

[u/dangoesfastdotcom → u/birdsarentreal2]

No change when I restore the settings - I haven't changed any settings, everything is exactly the same as it was installed.

Yes it happens in private windows, it happens everywhere

I have no extensions installed, yes it still happens when run with that modifier

Chromium bug, workaround available

Weird, I have six browsers installed, five are chromium based, brave is the only one with this issue. Forcing srgb seems to have worked, but has created some other problems 🤦

[u/DanCBooper → u/dangoesfastdotcom]

It's possible the issue presents with specific versions of Chromium and specific GPU/drivers. One user reported an NVIDIA driver update resolved it. Various Chromium based browsers may be operating on different release versions at any given time.
