Windows 10: Every color on my monitor is different

I just bought a monitor and I just picked it up today at BestBuy. It is an LG - UltraGear 24" LED FHD FreeSync Monitor - Black Model:24GL600F SKU:6357416
Every color on it is just wrong like I'm looking up these colors on google and it is all wrong.

I looked up "color green" and it is blue
I looked up "color red" and it is brownish
I looked up "color orange" and it is green
I looked up "color purple" and it is red

I looked up "color pink" and it is orange

I looked up "color blue" and it is purple
Anyways you get the point all the colors are just wrong. I look up the same thing on a different monitor and it shows the right color, the color that it is supposed to be I don't get it. I send the pictures to my friend and he says it is purple but I see it as red on my screen. This is a brand new monitor that I just got today a few hours ago.

Windows Color Management Issue

Hi billin30,

With the issue you're having with your display color, I suggest that you calibrate. There may have been settings that is causing the issue and resetting them may solve this. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key on your keyboard, type Calibrate display color.
2. Follow the on screen instructions.

If the issue will not somehow improve, try to check with your monitor's color settings just to be sure.

Also, I'd like to clarify what monitor is having the issue with its display going to the 'other monitor'? I'd also like to ask for help in isolating the issue. Try to use the monitors one-by-one or have them pair up with one another. Like have BenQ paired
with Asus then have Alienware paired with Asus etc.

Update me if there were improvements.

lost red color on my computer monitor

Hi Yanjun,

Color calibration is something the operating system can't accurately do automatically. To make sure that your monitor is set to display the most accurate colors, you may use the built-in Display Color Calibration utility. Here's how:

• Go to Settings > System > Display.
  
• Scroll down to the very bottom, then click Display adapter properties.
• Select the Color Management tab, then click Color Management (...).
• Select the Advanced tab then click Calibrate display.
• This will start the Display Color Calibration wizard. If you are new to calibrating your monitor’s color, click the
  How do I calibrate my display? link for more information.
• Click Next to begin adjustment.
• The wizard will now walk you through the steps to access the on-screen display menu on your monitor to set specific color settings.
  

Remember that changes made through the display menu will be kept even if you click
Cancel. However, if you're not happy with the new settings, you can revert the changes manually, or reset your display to the default settings.

Let us know how it goes.
