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.
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

Whenever I use white in X5 (on default settings), the colour on-screen is a light yellow/cream. The white areas of course' print' white but it makes life very difficult when designing and building graphics. Also in anything imported from earlier versions anything that had white aplied appears cream. I don't have this problem working in any other software - Xara, Dreamweaver etc. though when I import white from another application into X5 , the result is a cream colour. I don't have these problems when I have the RGB profile settings set to the monitor (in my case, LGL194WT) but I'm not sure if this nulifies the "advances" of the new colour management. I've attached samples of my settings.

I think that you need to fix Color Management in Corel. Go to Tools / Color Management and there choose right profile settings...
The problem that "colin frajbis" is having can not be fixed by changing something in CorelDraw because it is caused by a bad color profile assigned to the monitor in Windows. Also, this dialog you pasted here is an X4 dialog and is completely replaced and scattered throughout the app by multiple dialogs and/or new controls.
Before,you would have this central dialog because color management was an application wide setting : in other words, all document would use the same settings and nothing was saved in the file about it. Now, there is 2 main differences. The most important one is that in X5, it is document specific so every document have their own color setting. The second important difference is that we ask the OS (Windows) what are the profile assigned to your devices instead of having the user manually set it up in this former dialog.
Now back to the "yellow" problem. First : this has NO effect on the actual color data in your document : it only affects the display of them and only on your specific system because it is using this bad profile. Normally, we try to detect that a bad profile like this is assigned to your monitor and issue a warning the first time you launch the app. Perhaps we need to improve the detection mechanism and that is why I'd like to try your monitor profile to see what we can do.
For the right thing to do in your case is to simply unassigned your bad profile from your monitor in Windows. This will make the app use the standard sRGB profile which is adequate for most monitor and clearly better in your case because the profile you are using cause white to become yellowish.
If you can, please forward me the profile file so that I can look at it.
Thanks.

If you had the dialog before and want to trigger it again, then you need to use F8 when launching the app to clear the original decision.
You can also view/edit the mapping through the registry in the following key :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\CorelDRAW\15.0\Draw\Application Preferences\ColorProfileMonitorMapping]
for example :
"My HPLP2065 D65 G2.2 A87.26 98024571cae317"="My HPLP2065 (D65 G2.2 A87.26)"
"HP LP2065 LCD Monitor b69581001c5b984"="HP LP2065 LCD Monitor"
"My HPLP2065 D65 G2.2 A186.05 54e0869e1cae541"="My HPLP2065 (D65 G2.2 A186.05)"

I just want to mention that F8 is not specific to this dialog : it clears all your customization. It frequently helps to solve issues that started occurring all of a sudden that were not occurring before.
Also, note that you probably want to stop using such profile altogether because it will affect other color managed app : not just DRAW.

of course i know that it clears customization.
but better to do customization again and working with white colors, then working and even PRINTING (!) with light yellow color.
else one time thanks to you for that solution with F8 :))))

P.S. i founded!!! The answer is http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6890/44804649.jpg and white is printing like white!
Relative colorimetric instead of Absolute
Thank you so much a2019, it works, you right, solution is f8
