Windows 10: Some colors on my computer are a different color for example some purple colors look blue

Some colors on my computer are a different color for example the purple colors look blue and I don’t know how to change it back to purple

Every color on my monitor is different

Hi Brandon

From your description, there is no consistency with the color problems you are encountering . . .

I looked up "color green" and it is blue - that means yellow is missing

I looked up "color purple" and it is red - that means blue is missing

I looked up "color blue" and it is purple - that means too much red

I would suggest, the problem is not your PC that it is a problem with the new monitor, it is either not calibrated correctly or a hardware issue . . .

Is there a menu on that monitor, where you can re-calibrate the color from?

If you connect another monitor to your PC are the colors okay, if so, then it is a problem with the new monitor and you should get a replacement . . .

 

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.

 

Colors looking grey in Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the colors look grey on your computer. I would suggest you to check the color filters in Settings and see if that helps. Kindly, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + U, to open
   Ease of Access Settings.
   
2. Now, select Color filters from the left pane.
   
3. Under Use color filters, toggle the switch to
   off for Turn on color filters.
   
4. Clear the check box for Allow the shortcut key to toggle filter on or off.
   

Let us know how it goes.
