Go to Windows' accessibility settings and see if you have a color blindness filter toggled on.

Use color filters in Windows - Microsoft Support

Use color filters to help see things on the screen more clearly.

All color filters are off, including color blindness. I think if I had a windows generated filter it wouldn't ONLY affect various browser windows and some other tasks. But I could be wrong

 

Are the problems only with one monitor and not others? Have you tried a new monitor cable to see if this resolves the problem? Have you looked to see if you have the latest monitor driver and tried to reset your monitor to its default settings?

Another person apparently had a similar issue and was given a list of some other things to try. I don't know is the issue was resolved as he never posted back.

One monitor has color issues but only in some applications - Microsoft Q&A

So I just bought a computer off a friend. I reset the computer entirely and reinstalled Windows and all of the drivers. While setting it up, I noticed some of the applications have weird colors? In google, the text would be green. I pulled up an image…

The peculiar part is that the monitor is completely willing to show the correct color set, as if I take steam, and drag it so that it is partially on the monitor in question, but my mouse drops the window on a peripheral monitor, the portion on the problem monitor is the right color, but if I place it on the problem monitor, the part that is on the good monitors shows the wrong colors, so whatever is the cause is deciding to mess up the colors based upon which monitor the computer thinks the program is being displayed on primarily, and if its monitor 1, the center one, it messes with the color.

 

Try calibrating colors across all of your monitors. Also, make sure that one monitor isn't being managed by Windows and another by the NVIDIA software.

Monitors showing different colors in dual monitor setup on Windows computers

If you have a multiple monitor setup & identical monitors are showing different color variations, then you need to carry out Color Calibration & check a few other things.

I figured it out, had to switch to a new color profile, the one that is the default for the Viewsonic XG2530, must have become out of date, or just stop agreeing with the rest of the computer because making a new one and applying that seems to have fixed it

 

How to mark a thread solved.

Above your first post in this thread, but below the black bar, on the right-hand side, you will see a "kabob" menu (three vertical dots). Click that and select Edit Thread. You will see a drop down in front of the thread title that says "Prefix". Drop that and "Solved" should be one of your options.

Real simple, huh? Who needs a dedicated button that does this in a single mouse click? ;-)
