Microsoft is reportedly developing a new display feature called Screen Tint for Windows 11, designed to let users apply custom color tints to their entire screen. This goes beyond the existing Night Light functionality, offering a broader range of color adjustments for eye comfort and accessibility.

The feature was spotted in early preview builds by Windows enthusiast and leaker @PhantomOfEarth, who shared screenshots showing a dedicated Screen Tint page in the Settings app under Accessibility > Vision. The page includes a toggle to enable the feature, a color picker, and a slider to adjust intensity. Users can choose from preset tints or create custom ones using RGB values.

Unlike Night Light, which only reduces blue light to warm up the display, Screen Tint allows any color overlay — from sepia and green to red or blue. This could help users with light sensitivity, migraines, or color vision deficiencies. For example, a green tint might reduce eye strain for some, while a sepia tone could aid reading.

The implementation appears to be system-wide, affecting all apps and the desktop. It works by applying a color filter on top of the display output, similar to the existing Color Filters feature but more flexible. The intensity slider lets users dial in the effect from subtle to strong.

It's unclear when Screen Tint will ship. The feature is still in development and not yet visible in public builds. If it follows the typical insider rollout, it could appear in a future Dev or Beta channel release before reaching stable. Given the growing focus on accessibility and user comfort, this addition aligns with Microsoft's recent efforts to improve Windows 11's inclusive design.

For now, users seeking similar functionality can rely on third-party tools like f.lux or the built-in Night Light. But an official Screen Tint would provide a more integrated, reliable solution. Stay tuned for updates as the feature progresses through Windows Insider channels.
