Hello,
I'm using corel draw x5 and my monitor shows white as very light yellow, the only way to stop this is to change the color conversion settings to none which then turns all the colours to RGB which don't relflect the colour that would be printed.
My monitor is a Dell U2410 has anyone had this problem before?
This could be because your monitor is assigned a bad color profile. Sometimes, computer manufacturer ships color profile that are not that accurate and it is better not to use it. Normally however, CorelDRAW should detect that and issue a warning allowing you to override it.
I'd be interested in taking a look at this color profile to see if there is something we can improve. Locate the color management setting on your OS and see if you can find what profile is associated with you monitor and if you can find the actual file. Then you can forward it to me.
Do not use the 'none' color engine : that pretty much turns off the entire color management system which is why the CMYK color dont look dull on your monitor.
Also, if you want to see how your colors will look like once printed : be sure to use color proofing. Otherwise, what you see on screen is not an accurate representation of what it will look like once printed.
I also found this link which might help you :

It is nothing to do with the monitor! If the screen had a yellow tinge, all whites including the background would be yellow as well. I have had this. Any bitmaps I imported had the white background as pale yellow. I looked at the colour palette and the pale yellow colour had the name white and was supposed to be white.
I saved and restarted and it had sorted itself out.
Thanks for your advice i've download a new color profile form

for my monitor and added it in my monitor color management section under color profile. I hope this advice can help other people with the same problem.
Thanks
That's great. Did you save the old "bad" profile somewhere? I'd like to take a look at it if possible.
