I did my usual run around the park and sprinted back home. Raymond and Mei were outside and on the way, so I said hello.

Raymond inverted the colors on his phone settings somehow, so black turns into white, green turns into magenta, and so on. High-contrast settings like that are useful if you’re sensitive to brightness or if you have difficulty distinguishing between colors (e.g. color-blindness), but it’s also annoying if you didn’t want it in the first place.
Raymond: “You young people probably know how to switch it back.”
I didn’t, but I wasn’t about to let a neighbor down. I held the phone at an arm’s length and started poking around the glass screen. (He says he doesn’t mind the sweat dropping from my face, but I’d feel like a knob end if I handed back a wet phone).
I found it five minutes later. For the iPhone, press General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Invert Colors.

Hooray, another day saved. Time to hang up the cape and costume.
