What is a burgundy screen?
A burgundy screen is simply a web page filled edge to edge with one solid color — Burgundy, hex #800020, or rgb(128, 0, 32). It is a dark, warm color: in HSL it sits at 345° hue, 100% saturation and 25% lightness, and its relative luminance is 4.7%. The closest standard CSS color is Maroon (#800000).
Turning a display into a single flat color is more useful than it sounds — as a light source, a test pattern, a video or photo backdrop, or ambient lighting. This page is that color, ready to open full screen or download, with no app to install and nothing uploaded anywhere.
What people use a burgundy screen for
Red screens are the classic choice for anything that has to stay visible without wrecking night vision — amateur astronomers, photographers in a darkroom-style setup and pilots use a dim red field to read by while their eyes stay adapted to the dark. A saturated red also lights only the red sub-pixels of a display, which makes it a fast way to spot a dead green or blue sub-pixel, and it doubles as instant stage, party or "alert" lighting.
Beyond that, a burgundy screen is handy for all the things any solid-color screen is good for:
- Checking an LCD for backlight bleed and IPS glow, or an OLED for stuck "always-on" pixels — faults hide in a dark field.
- Spotting dust, smudges and scratches on a monitor, phone or TV before cleaning it.
- Bias or ambient lighting — running a second screen or an old phone as a soft burgundy glow behind a desk or TV.
- A clean, distraction-free background for video calls, screen recordings, live streams and product photos.
- A backdrop or placeholder for digital signage, kiosks, stage screens and mock-ups.
- Judging screen brightness, white balance and how evenly a panel lights up.

Burgundy screen — FAQ
What is the hex code for a burgundy screen?
A burgundy screen uses the color Burgundy, hex #800020 — rgb(128, 0, 32). The full-screen view and every download use exactly that value. The nearest standard CSS name is Maroon (#800000).
How do I make my whole screen burgundy?
Open this page and tap Open full screen (or tap the preview). Your browser fills the entire display with burgundy and hides its own toolbars. Press Esc, or tap the screen, to come back. It works on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and most smart-TV browsers.
Can I download the burgundy screen in 1080p or 4K?
Yes. Tap a resolution preset — 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K (3840 × 2160) — or type any custom width and height, then tap Download PNG or Download JPG. A solid burgundy image stays a very small file even at 4K.
Is the burgundy screen free to use?
Completely. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit. The image is created in your browser and never uploaded, so you can use the burgundy screen for wallpapers, video backgrounds, streaming, signage, photography or print at no cost.
Does a burgundy screen save battery?
On phones and laptops with an OLED or AMOLED display, yes — dark pixels use very little power and true black uses none, so a burgundy screen draws less than a bright one. On a normal LCD the backlight stays on regardless, so the saving is small.
