    Remember in the very early days of the apple app store they had shit like a virtual beer so if you held the phone up to your lips it looked like you were drinking a mug of beer? Pointless but kind of showed off the phone’s capabilities? There would have been an app for put whatever color you want on the screen" with a set of RGB sliders. But nowadays that thing would require file access, phone, SMS, camera and payment permissions and would ruin your life for installing.

      Why not just usean basic art program and fill the screen with whatever color you need? Doesn’t need any special permissions, or even internet access

        Install a “basic art program” on a cell phone and tell me what permissions it asks for.

        Or just do a google image search for “red.” Is the real answer here.

          I suppose that depends on the phone you have, on F-droid that is easy to find with limited permission use

          Though yes, an image search would work perfectly well

            Yeah I’ll take an F-droid recommendation as proof of my case. Not many people are doing even that amount of side loading even on Android and forget it on iJewelry. We certainly have arrived in a place, haven’t we?

              Why take it as proof of anything? I wouldn’t know about google play alternatives as I havent launched that in years, and I’ve never had an iPhone, I only answered to the extent of my experience
