Many users find themselves accidentally toggling on inverted colors, which can be disorienting and make using your device uncomfortable.

How to Turn Off Inverted Colors on Chromebook
Turning off inverted colors on your Chromebook is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it:
-
Open Settings: Click on the time icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and then click the gear icon.
-
Navigate to Accessibility: Click on “Accessibility” in the left sidebar.

What is Inverted Colors?
Inverted colors, also known as high contrast mode, reverses the color scheme on your screen, making light colors dark and dark colors light. It’s typically used for people with visual impairments to improve contrast and make text easier to read.
However, if you’re not using it for accessibility purposes, it can be a bit of an annoyance. The sudden change in colors might be jarring, and some users might find it makes their device uncomfortable to use.
Why Do My Colors Keep Invert?
The “Invert Colors” feature can be easily toggled by accident. This is often because users mistakenly press the accessibility shortcut keys:
- Chromebook Keyboard: Search + Shift + R
If you find that the colors keep inverting despite disabling the setting, check your keyboard shortcuts and make sure you haven’t accidentally set up a shortcut to toggle inverted colors.
Is It Harmful to Use Inverted Colors?
Using inverted colors is generally safe and doesn’t pose any harm to your device. However, some people may experience eye strain or headaches after prolonged use.
Tip from our expert, Amelia “The Color Guru” Thompson:
“While using inverted colors is perfectly fine for occasional use, if you find that it causes discomfort or eye strain, it’s best to avoid prolonged use. Consider a screen filter to reduce eye strain instead.”
