How can I add a filter to my screen?

Question

Say I'm bored of my screen looking as boring as it normally does, is there a way to add a filter to all the colours on the screen (like an Instagram filter or even something simpler like a red light filter)?

There are these blue-light filter apps which you could use. A quick google search will get you their links. One of them has different colours, and I guess that is somehow related. There is one by the developer Hardy-Infinity, and that has the feature I'm mentioning about. — rjt.rockx, Apr 25 '15 at 16:34

After some digging around, I unearthed some interesting developer settings that significantly jazz up my homescreen. The added benefit of this in-built solution is it doesn't block app installs :)

There's also the colour inversion option under accessibility settings

I'd post a screenshot of my new homescreen but it seems the filter isn't reflected in screenshots.

What you are using is no real overlay, but rather an accessibility setting. It kind of works, but is not very flexible. Nice idea, though, I would not have thought about that. – GiantTree Apr 25 '15 at 16:54
