Icons are grey. How to return to color?

[tlippy]

I somehow have all my icons in grey. How do I get them in color?

Have you installed a launcher? Icon pack?

Suggest you post a screen-shot, should give us a better idea of what you've got going on there. Is it just the icons or everything else is grey as well?

Look in settings/accessibility/vision make sure all switches are off.

So it's just whatever is on the screen is in monochrome? Have look in the Developer Options in Settings, and under Simulate Color Space, check that Monochromacy isn't enabled, it should be set to Disabled. Sure we've had posts about this before.

Please give me the path. I can't find Developer Options.

LG V20 I don't know. But it's at the bottom in Settings on my Onda tablet, in the System section, with the { } icon..

...and under that there should be Simulate Color Space, and one of those options in that turns the whole screen into monochrome(black & white).

I found a solution:
Speed up the LG V20 using secret Developer options

• Open the Settings app.
• Scroll down and select About phone.
• Tap Software info.
• Scroll down and tap Build Number 7 times.
• “You are now a developer” message will appear.
• Go back into the main settings and you'll see a new option: Developer options.

Back to the Settings icon. "Reset to default" and Viola--my icons are now in color.
