Quick answer

Open Settings, Display, Screen mode and choose Vivid or Natural. Vivid gives stronger, more saturated colours; Natural looks closer to real life. With Vivid, the White balance slider makes the screen cooler or warmer.

There is no White balance slider Samsung says the cooler-or-warmer slider and Advanced settings come with Vivid. Choose Vivid first. Source: Set the screen color on your Galaxy phone to vivid or natural

About this guide

Vivid or Natural: which is better? Neither is right for everyone. Pick Vivid if you like punchy colours and want to tune them: Samsung says only Vivid has the slider that makes the screen cooler or warmer, plus Advanced settings for manual colour. Pick Natural if photos look oversaturated on your Galaxy or you edit photos; it tones the colours down and has no adjustments. The preview changes the moment you tap, so try both on a photo you know.

If photos look too bright and saturated, or a new Galaxy looks different from your old phone, the Screen mode is usually why. Ours was set to Vivid, with the White balance slider in the middle.
