A free fullscreen yellow screen for mood lighting, visibility testing, and photography backdrops. Adjust the brightness, go fullscreen, or download it as a PNG at the resolution you need.

Yellow is also one of the most visible colors against most backgrounds, which is why it shows up on hazard signs and high-visibility gear. That same property makes this screen handy for a quick visibility check, holding it up to see how well it stands out under your current lighting.

How to use it

  1. Set the brightness with the slider in the settings panel.
  2. Tap the fullscreen button on the color area. Press Esc, or use your browser's exit control on a phone, to leave fullscreen.
  3. To keep a copy, pick a size under Download (1080p, 4K, or your own screen) and save the PNG.

Watch out for: yellow is made by lighting the red and green subpixels together, so a pixel with a dead green subpixel shows up as a red dot on this screen. If you spot one, confirm it with the Dead Pixel Test.

Frequently asked questions

Is yellow a good color for a photography or video backdrop?
Yellow can technically work for chroma-keying, and some productions use it when neither green nor blue is practical, but it's less reliable than either since it sits closer to skin and hair tones than green or blue do. Green and blue stay the standard choices because they're consistently farther from human coloring across more people and lighting setups.
Does this help check my screen for defects?
Yes, to some extent; a solid yellow screen can reveal color tint or uneven brightness the same way any solid color can. For a proper pixel check, the Dead Pixel Test tool cycles through eight colors including yellow, alongside white, black, red, green, blue, cyan, and magenta, which covers more ground than a single static color.

Cedrick Reese built this yellow screen. The color is #EAB308, a golden yellow rather than pure #FFFF00, applied as a flat background color. Yellow is one of the easiest colors to spot, which makes this page handy for a quick visibility check, but not for pixel testing. It's a fixed value, so there's nothing to update.
