Sprite colors wrong, TFT colors OK on Arduino Due, ILI9488 SPI

[PatMan6889]

Hi,
using
tft.fillScreen(TFT_BLUE);
or any other TFT_eSPI functions delivers correct colors.

When I like to add a sprites:
sprite.fillCircle(100, 100, 20, TFT_YELLOW);
the colors are wrong:
Blue is green. Green is red. Red is Blue. Yellow is magenta.
The resulting colors are a bit off and don't exactly match the colors on tft.
Working colors are only black and white.

I tried to play around with setSwapBytes and setColorDepth.
setSwapBytes changes nothing. setColorDepth changes the colors but not to the correct state.

I use the same code as in examples but get different results.
Any ideas?

Hi,
The order of setSwapBytes is important. You need to do it before creating the sprite. Like this

  Needle.setSwapBytes(true);
  Needle.setColorDepth(16);
  Needle.createSprite(135,68);                      // create the needle Sprite
  Needle.fillSprite(TFT_BLACK);

Unfortunately when I try

  txtSprite.setSwapBytes(true);
  txtSprite.setColorDepth(16);
  txtSprite.createSprite(100, 30);
  txtSprite.fillSprite(TFT_YELLOW);
  txtSprite.setTextColor(TFT_WHITE, TFT_BLACK);
  txtSprite.drawString("123", 0, 0);
  txtSprite.pushSprite(0, 0);
  txtSprite.deleteSprite();

I get a kind of magenta filled sprite with the string 123 printed in white with a black text background.
I would expect a yellow filled sprite instead of magenta there. Black and white are working fine, all other colors don't match.

Maybe it is a hardware limitation of the Arduino Due?

with

txtSprite.setColorDepth(8);

instead?

with

txtSprite.setColorDepth(8);

instead?

I get exactly the same result as with setColorDepth(16)
