Wierd theme for Google apps

[rescuerEvp]

I have no idea what is that, but some Google apps just had a weird theme, that I can't change (if it's in dark/system mode)

Attached photos to compare Google apps that has that colour vs normal

Doesn't look like a theme, looks more like a tint.

 

Maybe go to Settings > Themes & Select the Default Samsung Theme, but I don't think that it's that.. Maybe Colour Palette?

Mine did that after I changed the contrast settings in Developer Options. I had to force stop, disable and re-enable each Google app one by one and reboot to make it go away.

So far unsuccessful. I'm using s23 ultra with UI 6.0

Hi, just to confirm have you contacted to the Google support team about this issue ? if not, please contact them once as they have only access of it.

It's a Samsung's developer mode that affects other apps. Why would I reach out to Google?

[RedDogRabbit]

Well, Developer Options is actually part of Android, so Google.. but they wouldn't know what you are talking about either. 

Dev Options are quasi experimental, and the vast majority of people don't even know that it exists. 

Also why you need to unhide Dev Options by clicking on the Build Number 7 TIMES.

Fair point, but I still prefer Samsung's community for the things happening to my Samsung.
It's hidden from people, who have no idea how those features will affect their products. Same thing in Windows

Case in point, the strange red tint. 😉

Did you try going to Settings > Themes & Click on Default Samsung Theme?

The only other things that come to mind.. 

You could try going to Settings & Search for "Reset" and Reset All Settings (don't think it'll work). 

You could also try Toggling Off Developer Options, see if that gets rid of the red tint? 

Or as a last resort, the "nuclear" option of a Factory Reset.
