Help Please - CorelDraw X7 (Home & Student) has yellow page background

I am new to CorelDraw X7, though I have used CorelDraw 7 for many years. When I create a new document in X7 using enhanced view, the paper and background is pale yellow. If I switch to normal view they are OK (i.e. white). I believe this is something to do with colour management. Could somebody please explain in simple terms the easiest way to solve this problem. I am using an AOC monitor. As far as I can tell my Canon printer prints the colours OK irrespective of whether I am in normal or enhanced view. Any help greatly appreciated

Go to (menu) Tools->Color Management->Default Settings. A dialog will appear, when you view this, look for Color Profiles, and under that you should find drop-down settings for RGB, CMYK and Grayscale. Make sure your RGB setting is 'sRGB' and not a color profile of your hardware manufacturer. (i.e.: Samsung color profile for your Samsung monitor, etc.)

I believe you have a default ICC display profile that is corrupt, through Windows remove it. get a new one and see if it does it or use sRGB. In Windows.

Thanks for your replies. For some reason I don't get a "default settings" option under Corel Tools / Color Management Only the "document settings" option shows (could it be a limitation of Home & Student edition?). However I managed to sort the problem by going into Windows color management and selecting "sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as the default profile for the monitor (instead of the Monitor manufactirer's one). This seems to have done the trick without creating any new problems. When I get time I may investigate the Manufacturer's monitor profile further to see if there is an updated version. Thanks once again

CorelDraw picks up the default display profile from Windows so it's Windows Color Management settings that need changed

Hi, This is an old post but I need to say this has happened to me again just after installing Windows 10. Haven't bothered looking at all the solutions below as there are too many and too confusing. Monitors this & that, its all hurting my brain.
It appears that doing big changes to the operating system, Windows wants to tamper with the colour settings.
I went to Tools > Colour Management> Default Settings>Colour Conversion Settings>Colour Engine, and mine was set at "Microsoft ICM CMM", so I hit the dropdown menu and selected "None" and it worked!
(for now, I don't know how many other settings have been tampered with.) see attachment
