Windows 11 may expand Night Light into a full screen color tool
The familiar Night Light feature in Windows 11 could soon get a much bigger upgrade.
A new option called Screen Tint has been spotted in preview builds, suggesting Microsoft is experimenting with more advanced display customization. While Night Light simply adds a warm, orange tone to reduce blue light in the evening, this new feature goes several steps further.
Instead of a single preset, Screen Tint appears to offer multiple color modes and even manual tuning. Early findings show options like soft pink tones (aimed at reducing eye strain or migraines), cooler blue filters (to cut glare), and neutral gray overlays (to ease contrast fatigue during long sessions). In practice, this turns a basic eye-comfort setting into something closer to a full display filter system. It could be useful not just at night, but throughout the day, depending on lighting conditions, screen sensitivity, or personal preference.
Importantly, this feature isn’t official yet. It was hidden inside a test build and hasn’t been announced by Microsoft, which means it could still change, or never ship at all. Still, the direction is clear. Microsoft seems to be moving toward more personalized screen experiences, rather than one-size-fits-all toggles.
If Screen Tint makes it into a public release, it could quietly become one of those features people didn’t know they needed until they start using it every day.
