Hello, I’m trying to get some yellow on my Time 2 screen, but I see none.

The yellow is (almost?) white, the chrome yellow is brownish. There is just no yellow.

I tested with a screen tester. A screenshot shows bright yellow where my colours are either light rose/brownish or almost white.

How off are the colours of the Time 2 screen?

(assuming you’re talking about the display colours and not the backlight) Pebble Time 2 uses a 64 colour e-paper memory LCD display. This page may help visualize which colours are available for developers to use in their apps and watchfaces: [Color Picker Tool // Pebble Developers](https://developer.repebble.com/guides/tools-and-resources/color-picker/)

Might help if you post a photo of the watch screen, too. Best colours will be in direct sunlight, depending on how blue your backlight is that might also affect things

Here are some screenshots, made _with_ flashlight.

You can see a small difference between white and yellow, but the yellow is so extremely dull, it’s almost no change in normal (daylight) light and none with backlight.

Only with the phone’s flashlight the difference is noticeable.

This might be a next rant about the dullness of the screen compared to my formerly used Time Steel. I did not suspect this; green, blue and red are acceptable, but especially yellow (a much used colour because it contrasts good like White, but should definitely be distinguishable from white)
