Background color of tabbar and alert messages are bright yellow after xcode update

I updated my xcode to 12.3 and it changed the background colors to bright yellow on Navigation Tab bar and alertviews.

I have them set to default colors and that appears to be light grey. The text and images remain black but I noticed that one of the images has gone to full color. Very weird.

Also the background color of the entire simulator, even the App Settings page, has turned bright yellow. I can change colors in the inspector panel (though the text tint does not change, always white) and it changes it on the xib screen but the simulator still shows the bright yellow background with the correct blue if selected and dark gray if not selected images and text.

The change effected every tab bar in the app. When run on actual device, the colors are normal. Translucent is checked. When unchecked the background color appears white.

Anyone give me advice on what to do here?

    MacOS had an update and after I installed that, the colors reverted to normal.

    I ran into the same issue after install xcode 12.3. This is how to fix the issue.
    Certain parts of the screen appear yellow in Interface Builder and the simulator.

    First do this…
    Open your Simulator and go to File > GPU Selection > Prefer Integrated GPU in

    Then do this…
    Quit Xcode and simulator
    Unplug power cable
    Restart Xcode and simulator
    Check storyboard or simulator to confirm yellow tint is gone
    Reconnect in power cable

    Worked for me. Good luck
