✅Unwanted Reduction of Colordepth?

I noticed an ugly color shift that produces strange color artifacts in the game. I suspect that it has something to do with the option to reduce the color depth, however, switching this option on or off, or restarting the game does not work.
I don't want this, because it looks very ugly and I am not able to judge the look of my plugins in the game anymore.
Is there a way to solve it?

I had this problem too, I don'texactly remember how I did it but I changed the color corrections to default and restarded the game all over again a few times and then did the color correction again. Finally it worked for me. But I think there should come an end to this bug

Which one is the default setting?

Yes I tried the option to reduce the color depth, switched it on and off a few times. It didn't help.
I'll try switching around the shaders and colors a few times.

Hm, that's strange.
I switched the shader to "smooth" and the colors to "old" (I use the German localization so I just assume these are the english names for these options; they are the options to the right of the menu), saved the city, left the game, closed it in android, restarted it and switched back to my preferred settings and for now, it looks normal again
Any ideas what cases this shift or how to avoid it in the future?

I think it are plugins, but I am not sure. The cause can also be to much color correction changes

Well, a plugin causing it is obviously possible. The other explanation seems unlikely, at least for me, because I usually don't change the color corrections at all and I haven't done so in recent weeks. Both shader and color I have set to "klassisch" ("classic", I assume).

The setting will take effect after a restart of the app.
The app switches to low color mode if a start up failed. That might happen due to a plugin error. Maybe I should fully remove the low color mode as if your device can only run the game with it it's probably not running good.

No, better keep it, if people need it to run the game properly.
It is not a huge problem either, even if it occurs unwanted due to an error, as long as you know how to switch it back.
The above method worked for me and I haven't had the problem since.
