    I honestly cannot envision a scenario in which I would want something like this from YouTube.

      this is for people who arrange their bookshelves by spine color.

      Let me introduce you to some classics.

      Before you ask, no, I don’t watch these. I discovered these types of videos only a few months ago and was shocked at the viewer counts.

          I agree. I don’t understand why these videos are watched either.

          There are other weird styles too. Eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rkUcw9INLI

            Pretty sure the solid colors are for people who need to shine a specific color of light, and there’s no simpler way to quickly do that. You either download a new app, or google image search and try to find something you can zoom in with.

            The sound effects one I have no idea, haha

                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.

                    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.

              The simpler method is to load whatever stock application that came on your mobile device/computer OS that allows you to color the screen exactly as you desire. They’re offline too.

      Why not? Not you, I mean but why not have it as an option?

      Frankly I wouldn’t use it either, but I can absolutely see the appeal. Sometimes you want some warm tones, sometimes you want cool tones. Maybe you’re having a Green party for 4/20 and you’re playing Green Day and watching green videos idk.

      Lol dumbness aside, my immediate thought was “this seems like it could be nice for those who sleep to videos” - I know that I don’t always want a white-blue heavy video but something darker and red

        Okay, but what if your darker and redder video is super loud and obnoxious and your blue-white video is quiet and calm? Or the dark red one is strobing and the blue-white one is calm and soft? That’s the problem with just sorting them by color. Color doesn’t really tell you anything about the content of the video. I mean I supposed this very out-there idea of a ‘green party’ could be a weird usage case, but I think that’s a very unusual event and doesn’t really justify the feature.

      The only people I could see this feature helpful for is those with synesthesia.

      The ASMR and meditation community sometimes embrace a specific colour aesthetic for videos. They’re also all pretty similar in terms of audio level etc so I can see this working well in that niche.
