If you change the color option in display settings from adaptive to natural, it seems to go back to what it was before. Although, I kind of like the new look.

I tried this and had no luck. Was still super dark after swapping color profiles and then returning to Adaptive mode.

The screen saturation went way up and looks great on Light mode but looks terrible on dark mode. Everything looks brown or reddish. Wallpaper and Themes are completely broken, as are Material You themes.

Anyone try a custom kernel?

 

[SpaceCadetWilliam]

the colours on the adaptive display setting on this beta are disgusting.
it's so dark. I was watching a dark YouTube video and I couldn't see anything, it just looked black. when I switch to natural the entire thing lit up and looks 100% better.
I'm bummed that they changed the adaptive display setting so drastically. honestly it looks broken, like none of these colours are correct at all and it's way too dark. hopefully it gets fixed soon...

Mine is the opposite. Mine is actually brighter in adaptive and clearer. I also have it on high resolution too. 1440p and this latest beta brightened everything up and made it look crisper and cleaner. Weird that the update is affecting people differently. Are you running any mods that affect display? I do have a few that are display based. Repainter is one and I use automatic dark mode. Just curious.

no I don't have any mods at all, all stock.
I've got high refresh and resolution as well.
it honestly looks so bad it has to be a bug. it looks like some high contrast accessibility setting or something.
I've had to switch to natural and on natural in my opinion all the colours look super washed out. I was really happy with the display settings before this beta now it's really awful.
this weekend I may go back to the main release, I just can't be stuffed wiping the phone lol

Try resetting the adaptive brightness. Clear Device Health services storage. When you get there click manage and reset adaptive brightness. That may help.

I have the same problem! Can you tell me more ways to solve it?

how do I clear device health services? I searched it in settings but nothing came up.

I don't think there is a way to solve the problem. It seems to be a system-level change to the color profile and we just need to wait for Google to fix it.

thanks for this, but unfortunately it didn't change anything. I don't use adaptive brightness either.
I guess we just have to wait for Google.

Hey you tried. The betas do weird things sometimes for no apparent reason. I hope it fixes for you in the next update or something sooner.

Hi guys!
Is there anything to have in mind when you join beta releases?
Do I have to wipe? Do any apps stop working? Like Banking apps, Google Pay or somethings like these?
I have so bad battery draining that I now go through all options I may have to get a new software release without setting up my phone again

All of your banking could not work at all. Betas don't pass CTS check. Just saying. Best thing to do on a battery drain, is not chase it charging. Let it die. Then charge it completely while powered off. It's sometimes a pain. But it will reset your battery stats in the phone and if anything is hanging in the background, it will clear it.

About Android 13 QPR3​

Following the stable release of Android 13 to AOSP, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops.
Although these updates don't include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed.
Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use. However, please review any known issues that are listed on this page.
Android 13 QPR3 builds on the updates in Android 13 QPR2 and the initial Android 13 release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.
