Hello Collective Wisdom,
Suddenly all colour has vanished from my iPad — everything is black & white: home screen, websites, everything. What has happened?? How do I fix it? The time-honoured universal repair, shut it down and restart, didn’t work. 🙁 TIA for all suggestions!
iPad, iPadOS 14
If the screen colours appear to be distorted or unnatural, you need to check some key Accessibility settings that are intended to compensate for specific colour-vision issues:
Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size
Ensure that all settings enclosed within the red box above are switched OFF/Disabled.

Amazing! In Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size I found Color Filters, and this was unaccountably set to Grayscale. Unchecking that restored my iPad to its former colourful self.
I have no idea how it got set to Grayscale!!! I wasn't mucking around with any settings.
How can that happen???
Meanwhile, a million thanks for your help!
You are very welcome. I’m delighted to learn that your issue has been identified and resolved.
As for how your settings came to be as you have described, we can only speculate…
iPad — no colour
