How to Set Up Xiaomi Phone for Color Blind Users with Display Correction

Approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women have some form of colour vision deficiency. Xiaomi HyperOS includes dedicated colour correction modes that remap screen colours to be distinguishable for different types of colour blindness.

Types of Colour Blindness Supported by HyperOS

How to Enable Colour Correction on Xiaomi

1. Go to Settings → Accessibility.
2. Tap Visual → Colour correction (or ""Colour blind mode"" on some versions).
3. Toggle Use colour correction on.
4. Select your colour vision type from the list:
- Deuteranomaly
- Protanomaly
- Tritanomaly
5. The display immediately applies the correction filter.

Adjusting the Correction Intensity

HyperOS allows adjustment of correction strength:
- Drag the Intensity slider to set how strongly the correction is applied.
- Start at 50% and increase if colours are still difficult to distinguish.
