Routine not running

I have this routine to turn off grayscale on apps where I use the camera, not working for some reason...

I'm confused...in the title you said it doesn't work, but in the text under the screenshot it says it worked for you?

Sorry that's a typo, should've been "not" not "now"

Thank you. Try removing camera from App opened because you said you wanted other apps to go into grayscale.

What are you trying to accomplish with turning greyscale off? Do you keep your phone on greyscale all the time? Greyscale applies to your screen color, not what your camera sees.

Yeah i keep grayscale on always, but if I'm taking pictures I just want to make sure the colors are good.

Doesn't work for me either. The best I could come up with is to add the color correction icon to the quick panel and keep it on all the time and manually tap it off when you open those apps. You can also do the same by adding the color correction shortcut to the accessibility icon on the nav bar, but I find the nav bar icon extremely annoying. You can select the color correction shortcut to be the quick panel button, the accessibility icon, or one of two button actions, whichever is most convenient for you

Really odd, I found no mode or routine that will turn greyscale off if it's on, but all will turn it on when it's off.

Ok. I did find something that will work. First turn greyscale off. Then create a mode - call it greyscale. Set it to run all day every day. Then use your routine. The only way I found it to work is to have the mode on, rather than just putting and keeping greyscale on. But, since you can only run one mode at a time, this may interfere with other modes you may use.

Now you have a couple of options to try.
