Hi,
I got a clue (haha) last month (from a local Adafruit reseller) and now that I am testing more colored stuff on it I discovered the colors looked limited and washed out so after some searching I found the topics on the forum that relate to that, the blue screen tab (which is what I had), the 4 test uf2 that perform as described on a faulty clue (files 2 and 3 get good colors) and I added the stuff that was suggested to fix it in my CPY code: clue.display.bus.send(0x26, b"\x04") and it seems to work well now.
So, I made it work for me, but is there anything I missed ?
I've got one of those CLUE with bad colors

Don't think you missed anything. We can replace the CLUE.
Send an email to [email protected] with a link to this thread and your order number and they can send you a replacement CLUE.

Thanks!
I don't think I can do that though, I bought from a local reseller in France.

Re: I've got one of those CLUE with bad colors
Here using purple.bmp and the example code from Carter Nelson's excellent displayio guide.
Using the gamma fix code from the forum: viewtopic.php?f=65&t=168145&start=60#p825486 fixes the problem
Code: Select all
display.bus.send(0x26, b"\x04")
The change doesn't persist after reset - will this fix have to be called in each CircuitPython script, or is there a way to permanently make this change? I'd like to use this board for teaching coding, and so would like the process streamlined.

@wminarik Can you please put all this in a new separate thread. That will make it easier for us to track your specific issue. You can link to the new thread here if you want to make it easier to find and I'll respond there.
