Webcam and Skype not working properly
I recently bought a new HP Spectre x360 laptop and installed Ubuntu 15.10. (I originally went with a later version but I was encountering lots of bugs. This version seems to be more stable for my system).
Things are mostly working okay, but not my webcam.
If I go to a website to test it, it's very grainy and the colours are weird.
If I try to Skype, as soon as I go on a video call, I can only seen a small part of my face in the webcam and it's grainy. Additionally, the whole interface goes crazy and flickers strange colours.
Extra information: My screen resolution 3840 x 2160 is but everything was tiny and so I changed it to 2048 x 1152.
Could someone advise the direction in which I should be putting my efforts!
Thanks.

gd::graph::colour
Graph::colour(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Graph::colour(3)
NAME
GD::Graph::colour - Colour manipulation routines for use with GD::Graph
SYNOPSIS
use GD::Graph::colour qw(:colours :lists :files :convert);
DESCRIPTION
The GD::Graph::colour package provides a few routines to work with colours. The functionality of this package is mainly defined by what is
needed, now and historically, by the GD::Graph modules.
FUNCTIONS
colour_list( number of colours )
Returns a list of number of colours colour names known to the package. Exported with the :lists tag.
sorted_colour_list( number of colours )
Returns a list of number of colours colour names known to the package, sorted by luminance or hue. NB. Right now it always sorts by
luminance. Will add an option in a later stage to decide sorting method at run time. Exported with the :lists tag.
_rgb( colour name )
Returns a list of the RGB values of colour name. if the colour name is a string of the form that is acceptable to the hex2rgb sub, then the
colour will be added to the list dynamically. Exported with the :colours tag.
_hue( R,G,B )
Returns the hue of the colour with the specified RGB values. Exported with the :colours tag.
_luminance( R,G,B )
Returns the luminance of the colour with the specified RGB values. Exported with the :colours tag.
add_colour(colourname => [$r, $g, $b]) or add_colour('#7fe310')
Self-explanatory. Exported with the :colours tag.
rgb2hex($red, $green, $blue)
hex2rgb('#7fe310')
These functions translate a list of RGB values into a hexadecimal string, as is commonly used in HTML and the Image::Magick API, and vice
versa. Exported with the :convert tag.
read_rgb( file name )
Reads in colours from a rgb file as used by the X11 system.
Doing something like:
use GD::Graph::bars;
use GD::Graph::colour;
GD::Graph::colour::read_rgb("rgb.txt") or die "cannot read colours";
Will allow you to use any colours defined in rgb.txt in your graph. Exported with the :files tag.
PREDEFINED COLOUR NAMES
white, lgray, gray, dgray, black, lblue, blue, dblue, gold, lyellow, yellow, dyellow, lgreen, green, dgreen, lred, red, dred, lpurple,
purple, dpurple, lorange, orange, pink, dpink, marine, cyan, lbrown, dbrown.
