Have you tried a reboot?  Just shut it down, wait a minute or two and start it back up again - see if that works.  Sometimes it can fix itself with a reboot.  It is always worth a try as the first & easiest test.  Hope it works!

@halfpint1   I want to help you.  Do you have a windows laptop that is running Chrome as your internet browser or do you have something called a Chromebook?

Maybe you accidentally did something in the display settings. I'd say go to the settings and see if the display settings are changed.

Hey @halfpint1   I don't have a Chromebook however I did find something that turns the color on and off.

 

When you are on the internet, look in the upper right hand corner of your display screen. 

 

See if you can find a star shape near the top of your screen.  Immediately to the left of that should be something that is shaped like an eye.

 

Look at the picture below. If the eyeball shaped thing next to the star shaped thing is highlighted in blue, then you have accidentally turned off the color on your Chromebook.

 

Just click on the eye shaped thing and restart the Chromebook and I think the color will come back on your screen.

I bet that's what it was!
