I honestly cannot envision a scenario in which I would want something like this from YouTube.
Let me introduce you to some classics.

Before you ask, no, I don't watch these. I discovered these types of videos only a few months ago and was shocked at the viewer counts.
Sometimes the internet is weird
I agree. I don't understand why these videos are watched either.
There are other weird styles too. Eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rkUcw9INLI
Pretty sure the solid colors are for people who need to shine a specific color of light, and there's no simpler way to quickly do that. You either download a new app, or google image search and try to find something you can zoom in with.
The sound effects one I have no idea, haha
The simpler method is to load whatever stock application that came on your mobile device/computer OS that allows you to color the screen exactly as you desire. They're offline too.
what app is that?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I agree, I have seen at least a dozen weird things on the internet
