If you find it tiring looking at bright colors on your Chromebook all day, and have a sensitivity to its display’s brightness, regular browsing may not be possible without help. However, did you know you can make browsing easier by inverting the colors on your Chromebook? In this blog, we will discuss how to invert colors on Chromebook.

How to Invert Colors on Chromebook

Inverting colors on your Chromebook is easy and only takes a few seconds to do. Here’s how to invert colors with just a few taps:

  1. On your Chromebook home screen, tap on the clock icon.
  2. Next, tap Settings (gear icon) and scroll to tap on the Advanced option.
  3. Tap the Accessibility menu and then tap Manage Accessibility Features.
  4. Turn on the “Use High Contrast” mode option under Display.
Chromebook Display Settings: High Contrast mode
Chromebook Display Settings: High Contrast mode

If you enable the high contrast mode toggle, your screen will immediately show inverted colors. If you wish to return to the regular viewing mode or reconsider enabling this feature, you can simply turn off the toggle in the same section of your Chromebook’s settings.

Using Shortcut Keys to Invert Colors on Chromebook

You can easily enable High Contrast Mode, which inverts colors, by using a key combination. This accessibility feature can be activated without any extra steps and is very easy.

To enable High Contrast Mode and invert your display, press and hold the “Shift + Search” keys on your keyboard, and then quickly press “H.” Note that the key combination for this was recently changed from “CTRL” to “Shift + Search + H.“

How to Disable High Contrast Mode

To return your Chromebook’s colors to normal, you can untick the same box and save your settings if high contrast mode doesn’t work for you. Or If you see your Chromebook displaying bright and strange colors, it is likely in high contrast mode. This mode may have been turned on through the settings page or by using the invert color keyboard shortcut, by you or someone else.

To disable high contrast mode, you can either go to “Settings” and uncheck the box for it under “Accessibility” or use the keyboard shortcut “Shift + Search + H” to quickly switch between the two modes.

What is the High Contrast Mode in Chrome OS?

Chromebooks have a feature called High Contrast Mode that can assist users in various situations, especially those with visual impairments. This feature reverses the colors on your screen, making it easier for you to browse and read the displayed content on the tablet.

This refers to swapping the colors black and white, which can reduce eye strain and improve readability, especially at night when you want to lower the brightness. High Contrast Mode can be thought of as a negative filter, like the ones used in mobile phones and photography.

Why You Should Consider Inverting Colors on Chromebook

Color inversion is a useful feature for people with color blindness or visual impairments. It improves the contrast of pixels on the screen. This makes it easier to read books and articles, discern between colors and shapes on the display, and reduce eye fatigue. You can even read smaller fonts in inverted colors.

There are various reasons for someone to consider inverting the colors on their Chromebook. We list them all below:

Reducing Eye Strain

Consider inverting the colors to reduce eye strain when using your device for extended periods. The white background of many websites and applications can be hard on your eyes. Inverting the colors can provide relief.

Improving Readability

Sometimes, reversing the color scheme can make text more readable. For instance, if you’re reading a document with a dark background and light text, reversing the colors can enhance legibility.

Visual Impairments

Inverting colors on a Chromebook can benefit users with visual impairments such as color blindness or sensitivity to bright light. Doing so can make it more convenient for these individuals to use the device.

Inverting the colors on a Chromebook can be a helpful feature for some users, as it can improve readability and reduce eye strain. It is also a useful tool for anyone who wants to have a better user experience while using their device.

Note: It is important to test the inverted color feature before using it to determine if it is suitable for individual users. This should be done for a short period of time before making a decision.
