Mine does this of course, because it is something that happens with every AMOLED phone I can think of. It was something I forgot about of course being on a phone with a regular LCD screen for the last year, but as soon as I got my Nexus 6 I remembered about this little quirk of AMOLED. Hopefully custom kernels can minimize how much we notice it with custom color calibration.

Mine is also much more purple than pink, if it is actually a really pink color them maybe something is wrong, IDK. My purple tint doesnt start to happen till I am about 25% of the way down the brightness slider. All the way down and the screen is very heavily tinted purple. But that is too dark to see with anyway so I never turn things down low enough to make things look bad enough that I would actually care about. The screen look beautiful in any normal lighting conditions. I just think of it as a "night time feature" to be easier on tired eyes. lol.
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Wasn't this talked about before release? I thought it was part of the brightness setting and to make it more of a battery saver?

N6
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
On... So if I jack my brightness down, it gets a little pink. Whoopty-do... Why care? It looks fine at whatever brightness I use and I've never expected a display to look perfect when it's almost off. It's not some damning evidence that the thing is low rent.

Everyone's looking to complain. Omg, If I click on back 19 times while shaking the phone and switching back and forth into chrome, I drop a frame.... A $650 shouldn't do that!

Smh
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Oh I'm not looking to complain at all, I just wanted to see if it's something everyone had or not.

I've just heard so much Conflicting info on this it's driving g me nuts... Either way, I'm super excited about getting it ?
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
You should, it's a great phone. But like every other phone out there, there will be some that have issues and others that are just here to stir the pot.
[Nexus 6  General] PhoenixPath:
Heck, I thought it was a feature to make it easier to read text with the brightness super low...

*shrug*

Well, I guess if it's a bug I am glad I got a bad one. Sure as heck not sending it back with the PVS 13. With my luck I'd end up with a 2.
[Nexus 6  General] Mayze23:
My 2014 Moto X screen turns pink when I crank the brightness down also on lollipop. I think it's due to the AMOLED screen because I can do the same to my N7 and it doesn't turn pink. I've noticed on lollipop that the screen can be made a lot dimmer than on kk
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
This is all due to amoled folks. And partly how it is calibrated. But it is an inherent quality in these display panels. As long as it's not pink at your "normal" viewing brightness then :thumbup:
[Nexus 6  General] techrider6262:
Sorry my screen is pretty:good:
[Nexus 6  General] gruppe3942:
One thing I have noticed is that with adaptive brightness on...if I turn my brightness all the way down I do see tint pinkish hue. If I turn my adaptive brightness off and turn my brightness all the way down...I don't have a pinkish tint on the screen.

Anyone else's screen reacts this way?
[Nexus 6  General] Gorjira:
I've been reading about this issue all over. Maybe I lucked out but I don't have the pink issue at all.
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Yeah mine does. Lol I am now learning that adaptive is not the same as auto-brightness. But seems like with adaptive on it keeps the screen a bit darker than without. I noticed with the slider maxed out or turned all the way down it gets much brighter and dimmer respectively with it off.
[Nexus 6  General] robber:
If you turn adaptive on, and manually turn the brightness all the way down (something you would likely never do in real word use) you will see it. Even in a dark room I don't see it since my display is still bright enough to stay over the threshold where this phenomenon manifests. If I go lower the brightness way down however, it appears.
[Nexus 6  General] mertzi:
You're the kind of person who'd defend defects at any rate. "It has 100 dead pixels, so what! You can use most of the screen!". A lot of people use their devices at night with brightness set to lowest, but I guess we should stop being active at night cause that's a solution, right! "Go to sleep and use your device at day, WITH FULL BRIGHTNESS!"

It really beats me why some people take so much offense when other people notice things they see as flaws i.e. things that bother THEM, not you, that you feel such a strong need to both defend these flaws plus attack those who see them. I've seen this in all device forums I follow here on XDA. Who are you to judge others' criteria?
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
I'm not defending, I'm only pointing out that they occur not matter what the product.

And I'm also not saying that the screen will never burn in either. My point is a) this particular source is a joke and b) if you spend all your time looking for problems, you'll find one.
[Nexus 6  General] a3d5b88:
Actually from what I've seen, this is intended and actually very useful. Whenever it is night time and truck drivers or anyone want to use "night vision" its always using red light so it doesn't "wake up" your eyes and you don't lose your ability to see in the dark. Maybe it isn't a feature but I find it very useful when I wake up in the middle of the night to an email for work and don't want to be blinded! Feature or not, the red glow works for me and I really only see it in the pitch black when brightness hits almost nothing ☺!
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
If you get the pink your device is bad I would return it.
[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
any one on AOSP rom??

i remembered seeing pink tint on my phone, but after flashing a custom rom the pink hue disappeared.

i don't know is it my eyes playing tricks on me or what
[Nexus 6  General] lanisan:
If I'm spending the money and trying to find out if it's a defect or if it's a function of the OS, I'm completely within reason to question that. I've been on an N5 for a while now and never had any display issues. Prior to that it was an N4, GS3, GS2, Captivate etc. I never had a screen look wonky like this. So yeah.. if I'm blowing 700.00 on a phone that costs more than most things I buy then I can complain and question it a bit.

If I don't like it, I can ask, wonder and make an informed decision. I shouldn't have to just *accept* whatever because Leo says so.. wth man??
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
Looking at my screen, it'll turn reddish only if the brightness in adaptive mode is turned way down.... Down far below my nexus 5 could get to stock... By the way, when I used a tool like Lux to deep dive below the stock minimum, my S3, Nexus 5 and G3 all got wonky. Either really washed out or difficult to read... To be honest, the nexus 6 when turned all the way down in adaptive, is the darkest and most readable of the lot. It might be reddish, but it's more usable. Funny enough, it resembles Lux's 'astronomy' mode where it creates a red hue to make it easy on the eyes in extremely low light environments.

Now, if your screen is red at normal levels, then your phone is messed up and needs to be swapped out. But if your phone is doing what mine is, it's making something out of nothing.
[Nexus 6  General] lanisan:
It's slightly more green towards the top left and slightly more purple/pink (depending on your eyes) to the bottom right. it's noticable, not horrible but at 700 (not including tax) it is something I want to ask about to see if it's just something I need to adapt to or if it's a real problem. I noticed it is less obvious when I turn off adaptive lighting and turn up the brightness over about 35%. Other than that I really love the phone. I'll give it a few days as I've only had it a short while and see how I feel and update later. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
This.

I've read about it before getting the phone and was worried. But the Display Settings is one of the very first settings I adjust on a brand new phone or Rom. Always turn off Adaptive/Auto brightness. I don't believe the system knows how I want the brightness in every situation.
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
I think that was the aim... Rather than have a static mapping, they adjust the brightness based on the ambient light and your setting... What I'd love to see is it learn. If you're always setting it all the way to the right in bright areas and to the left in dark, adjust accordingly.

Still, it's much better than the old style.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Now that's a little different... It should be consistent... And I don't see any weird coloring with AB off... And when on, the hue is very consistent and gradual, but only at really low levels.

Might want to check one if the display tester apps to check your screen
[Nexus 6  General] chetly968:
I remember reading a Nexus 6 review (yes I've read all of them) mentioning that the pink may be a feature rather than a bug. It mentioned that the pink doesn't show up til the very dimmest setting. And that that dimmest setting was dimmer than any other AMOLED display is capable of reaching. For example setting the Samsugn Galaxy to its dimmest setting and having the Nexus match that, the color reproduction stays accurate. Go any dimmer and the pink starts to show. Can't remember the reviewer, phonearena or something probably.

Sure but, if that was the case wouldn't everyone have it? Seems the results from the poll show that isn't true
[Nexus 6  General] americasteam:
Any color cast on the screen whether it's pink, purple, yellow, orange, red, blue, or green is not a feature. Plain and simple.
[Nexus 6  General] shelooga:
you should return it if its doing that

[Nexus 6  General] YankInDaSouth:
Only had the phone a few hours ... Immediately noticed the pinkish color. Turned off adaptive brightness and haven't noticed it since! IMO screen is great once you turn that off!!

Welcome brother, good to see you here ?

[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
Yanky My Buddy!

I got mine and today being day 2 with it I was starting to notice this off white (pink) as well...

Adaptive and this screen - occurs, adaptive off - screen better.

I like adaptive, so I'll live with it, but believe it to be as stated, a problem with this type of screen and having adaptive on it. Being outside in snowstorm though I thought I was just a bit snowblind.

For those wondering why post a thread like this here? Well so those of us having or noticing it don't lose their minds, that's why! :)

UPDATE: Here in my IT Office under arc lights, must trigger adaptive to go to a level where I don't see it, even when on, so ... to me, not a bug. the phone is awesome!
[Nexus 6  General] YankInDaSouth:
Hey Bud! Good to see ya!

I've actually grown accustom to adaptive brightness - UNLESS I have to turn my brightness WAY down. Then the pink hue is not tolerable! But with the brightness set at 20% (or so) or above, I don't think it's too bad. That or my eyes have adjusted to it LOL
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
We're both getting too old for this Crap hehehe.
[Nexus 6  General] YankInDaSouth:
Yeah, you know I'm an old man when rooting/ROMing a NEXUS is too much work LOL
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
I also think that there is a dependancy on available, or the type of lighting that affects how the adaptive display determines its settings.

I figure by the time I unlock, root and flash, I'll have more than enough control to offset this anyhow, or they'll correct it in a future build release...

God I love this thing!
[Nexus 6  General] _Dennis_:
I think this is to counter the blue light effect (blue light make your brain think 'day time' and keep you up at night). This would make sense to me because it only happens with adaptive brightness (so the programmers could assume adaptive display said it's dark, probably night time)

Just my theory though.
[Nexus 6  General] kolyan:
Just had my N6 replaced and I don't have any pink anymore....looks like pink is actually a defect or something. My new N6 isn't perfect either, maybe it's my eyes but bottom of the screen looks a bit darker like it has some tint.....my wife couldn't see the difference
[Nexus 6  General] kolyan:
Replace one more time and its perfect now. Zero pink and no uneven screen tint/color.....finally

Probably not zero zero, but pink levels are way down to level where if doesn't bother me any more
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
I'm sure it's been said here, but... The pink hue goes away when you turn off adaptive brightness, even at the "lowest" brightness setting.
[Nexus 6  General] kolyan:
That's because adaptive brightness drops brightness levels below what can be done manually. Regards on or off there shouldn't be much pink. My 1st N6 was extremely pink
[Nexus 6  General] Mjuksel:
I have the pink hue aswell, only on adaptive mode.

The phone should have built-in color correction settings imo, i've took some settings from "wrinklefree" and it looks much MUCH better.

(link here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59092146&postcount=3017)

I did this with Kernel Adiutor, using HellsCore Kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] bill3508:
Same settings I use. Makes the screen much nicer.
[Nexus 6  General] desantim:
Saw this, figured I'd throw up a comment even though it's an old thread.

Bought a white version 32g off the play store a month ago, returned it cause verizon didn't support it and at 650 wasn't going to do that. It absolutely had pink screen issues when the brightness was turned down. I only tested with adaptive, but it was a big issue for me.

I bought a new blue 32g off ebay for $200 less just a week ago, it has no pink screen (I just checked now) with the brightness all the way down and looked at multiple white background apps to make sure.

To me this is 100% a hardware issue. I was comparing the original to an LG G3 which had impeccable white screen coloring regardless of brightness.
[Nexus 6  General] M5Rahul:
I had extreme pink after flashing to M. However, once I dropped back to 5.1.1 there's no more pink, ambient on or off !! Outdoor visibility is also far better on lollipop over M, at least for me!

I, therefore, do not agree with this 'pink screen' issue being hardware related.
[Nexus 6  General] kolyan:
I had 3 N6s and all 3 had different screen, all running 5.1.1. 1st was very pink, 2nd had uneven screen tint and no pink, 3rd very little to no pink and screen tint is even. So it is a hardware issue, this screen is simply junk unless you get a good one.
[Nexus 6  General] Xerro-Five:
That's really interesting if true. Personally I find with my nexus it's not a hardware issue, as if I turn off adaptive display it's no longer tinted pink as others have said here. But it's not as dim without adaptive. So I'm not sure if the adaptive setting is intentionally tinting it as people are speculating, or decreasing the brightness that much simply does weird things to the display. It seems like many phones ship with different displays so that not everyone gets the same. I remember the forums in the m7 thread having a lot of discussions about how there were 3 possible display manufacturers and each had different properties. One was tinted yellow, one was the brightest, and one had the best contrast. Those were backed up by each user confirming the hardware code for the display (JDI, Sharp, and another Sharp with a different controller).

Maybe that's what happening for you guys? Did moto source anyone else than Samsung? Is there even another possible source lol? What's the qc like at Samsung? Many questions...
[Nexus 6  General] mohsinriaz:
i had the problem initially, not anymore. didnt do anything to fix it. but my guess it was different with different roms... new roms probably 5.1.1 have fixed it, may be ?
[Nexus 6  General] PresidentMcCain:
Looks like Motorola put in a fix for this issue in their Motoblur kernel:

[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
My pink went away after turning off adaptive brightness. I bet it's a feature kinda like the Lux astronomer mode.
[Nexus 6  General] stuff:
I think it might have been reduced with later versions of drivers from moto or something. I remember it being there on android 5.0, but I do not see it at all anymore, on 5.1.1 or on M.
[Nexus 6  General] ambervals6:
Nexus 6 screen is just some leftover low quality of samsung screens lol

Sent from my SM-G920T
[Nexus 6  General] Xerro-Five:
I didn't see any change on 5.1.1, still there. I noticed something else though, that even in an almost completely dark (like really dark) room on auto, it still didn't drop down low enough to get the tint. If this were a feature, I would expect it to come into play before the absolute lowest brightness setting. As others have said, you have to manually lower it to the bottom to see it. But the upside of this observation is that under 99% of the conditions I use the phone I don't see the tint lol.
[Nexus 6  General] gtg465x:
That's definitely not true. I just switched to a Nexus 6 from a Galaxy S6 in part because the S6 screens have terrible uniformity issues. I went through 6 different S6s, all screens having varying degrees of splotchiness and pink and green tints. There is a HUGE thread with hundreds of people complaining about it in the S6 section. I think it's just the nature of extremely high density AMOLED screens. My Nexus 6 screen is definitely more uniform than any of my S6 screens were though and has no pink or green tint :). Very happy with it.
[Nexus 6  General] SpaceCadetWilliam:
I wanted to share my screen experience.

the first screen I had was ****ed. the top half of the display was pink and then faded into normal half way down the screen. it also had some dead pixels and on darker colours and gray you could see vertical lines all over the screen.

also when I used adaptive brightness the entire screen would turn pink. I came from an m8 and it was a huge downgrade.

I had two screens that worked completely differently in adaptive brightness. the first one was very clearly a busted ass screen.

the new screen is great and doesn't have the pink hue. the colour is uniform across the screen for the most part.
[Nexus 6  General] airik007:
yes
[Nexus 6  General] thomasjames_01:
Mine does that
[Nexus 6  General] buge boyo:
Same happens to mine too.
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
If you do a simple experiment in a dark room you will find that if you move the slider to about 40% with adaptive display you will get as much brightness as the lowest slider setting without adaptive. So adaptive display does something additional that the normal mode doesn't do to dim the screen. Here is my theory of what happens:

Nexus 6 uses a pentile RGBG subpixel arrangement, which means in every pixel you have one red subpixel, one blue subpixel, and 2 green subpixels. In the normal mode moving the slider to the lowest level reduces the brightness of all 4 LEDs to their respective lowest levels. However, in the adaptive mode, the system can turn off one green LED to allow even lower levels of brightness, or something to that effect. Therefore, the lowest slider setting for the adaptive mode is less bright than that of the normal mode, and also it has less green. Less green means more blue and red, hence the purple color.

So this is not a bug or limited to some bad samples. This is universal to all Nexus 6 phones. It is how it is by design so just leave it be or use adaptive display with the slider set at no lower than 30-40%.
[Nexus 6  General] akholicc:
my nexus had a pink tint on lowest brightness since i got it. i kinda liked it. and now suddenly its gone. its not pink anymore. i factory restored too. still not pink. any guess what might have fixed it? i really liked it. i dont know why. :|
[Nexus 6  General] NeoandGeo:
It's not pink, but on lower brightness settings the phone quality tanks to that of a generic $99 Chinese phone, also some odd flicker here and there. Motorola really could have done better with the quality in this regard.
[Nexus 6  General] kiru:
Is adaptive Brightness turned on?
[Nexus 6  General] akholicc:
yes its on
[Nexus 6  General] Lawstorant:
For me it's a bit pinkish on lowest brightness, but with AD on it's full-on pink filter :( I heard that it's due to AD pushing down limits of AMOLED. you cn't get Assmsung Lagaxy that dim (not confirmed).
[Nexus 6  General] Meowington Cat:
I've never used adaptive brightness and my screen always had that salmony pink tint too it. I have my colors calibrated so testing it I don't get a pink hue with it off or on.
