windows 10 base color yellow
-
Thank you for the advice. According to the ACER my drivers are P216HL and can be downloaded at @ https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Monitor/Monitor_Acer_1.0_Vistax64Vistax86XPx86W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634635930764342377&Step1=MONITOR&Step2=P SERIES&Step3=P216HL&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6#_ga=2.59545517.1430487269.1519276093-1869965474.1519276093.
I followed the instructions provided above, How to get the correct color profile for your monitor and How to install the correct color profile for your monitor and learned that I already had that specific color profile. So I removed that profile and added it again. No results unfortunately.

Hi Chris - a few ideas:
-
Can you change the resolution of your display, to see if the video driver has made some adjustments to your monitor? You can change it back right after. If this helps, we'd want to look at the OSD to see if the Acer monitor has learned some settings that need to be reset.
-
Can you also try reinstalling f.lux and see what happens if you move the sliders around in the interface?
-
-
@herf I changed resolution. no change to color. I reinstalled flux. All adjustments to color are still made from the base yellow.
-
Can you also take a look at the "color management" control panel and see if there may be a bad profile installed?
After that try "calibrate display color" to see if it can be fixed that way.As Lorna said, canary yellow is not a color tone f.lux ever makes, so I think we are looking for some other software/interaction that is causing the problem.
-
That photo looks like 1900K to me. It's just not the best photo or monitor color accuracy. Seriously, make your monitor bright and then switch back and forth between 6500K and 1900K very quickly while you're staring at the photo. You'll see.
-
@TwoCables that photo has a reference white, and so you can see that the yellow is basically (1, 1, 0), which isn't anywhere close to 1900K. Something in the system has knocked out the blue channel (almost) entirely, and that's not what f.lux will do at any color temperature setting.
-
I would check color settings in the OSD.
And also, how is the monitor connected? (The older 15-pin d-sub connectors occasionally could have a knocked-out channel that looked like this.) -
insert hysterical laughter here So herf, the cable was loose. What are the chances of my messing f.lux at the exact time that the cable loosens enough to make my screen go urin yellow. Thank you for your time and knowledge :)

@Chris-Martin that's amazing... glad we could help.

To change the colors for your device, open the “Settings” window and click the “Personalization” button in the middle of the screen.
Click the “Colors” category at the left side of this window to view Windows 10 accent color settings in the area to the right.
