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.
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.
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 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.
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.
you know, idiots.
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.
Sometimes the internet is weird
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

The sound effects one I have no idea, haha

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.

what app is that?

I agree, I have seen at least a dozen weird things on the internet

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