You have to press them pretty quickly. And the Back button is the upper left button on the remote just to the left of the Home button.

Here it is.  Before I was pressing it from watching the movie.  This works when I do it from the home screen, although there is no problem with color on the home screen.

Have you found a solution to this? I’m having the same issue

[RokuCarly]

Thank you for joining us here in the Roku Community, @DMattox16!

We appreciate you for bringing this to our attention and we'd be happy to look closely at the washed-out colors you are seeing on Netflix.

In this case, we'd like to gather further information about this so we can assess your concern better and provide you with an accurate resolution:

• Is this problem only happening on Netflix or are you having the same issue on other channels too?
• Does this affect all of the content inside Netflix? When did you first observe this? 
• Could you please send us a photo of it, and another one from a different channel for comparison?

We'll be anticipating your response so we can find you the best resolution possible and get you back on streaming. 

Best regards,
Carly

HI, I am finding I have exactly the same problem with not only Netflix but with the Roku home pages and menus. It's not only darker, but black text one a lighter background enhanced the text with a bright white edge. It's really not very pleasent to watch. I also get some flickering on certain still images. I have an LG OLED TV.

I have performed the factory reset and reinstalled it twice now. It's not making any difference to the washed out colours. Could you help, please. Thank you!

My situation has improved by whiching from 4K Dolby Vision HDR TV to 4K HDR TV however, the colours aren't as rich as using the LG TV Netflix app. The screen is brighter but all the colours are simply lighter.
