Colors may look dull, oversaturated, or entirely wrong due to **wrong picture mode** (Eco mode desaturates), **color space set to Native** instead of Auto (oversaturation), **color temperature too cool or warm**, **gamma offset**, or a **failing T-Con board** mixing up color decoding. In older TVs, **aged backlight LEDs** can shift to blue, making all colors cold. For projectors and some TVs, a dirty **color wheel** (DLP) or **polarizer** (LCD) causes tinting. Another digital cause: **HDMI color subsampling**—if the TV forces 4:2:0 when source sends 4:4:4, fine colored text may look blocky.
**Correction steps:**
- Switch to **Cinema** or **Expert** mode (most accurate).
- Set **Color Gamut** to “Auto” or “Native” (Native often over-saturates).
- Adjust **Color Temperature** to “Warm 2” or “Expert 1” (D65 standard).
- Reduce **Color** setting if oversaturated (start at 50).
- Run a **color pattern** from YouTube or calibration disc.
- For hardware faults, check if colors distort on all inputs—then T-Con or main board.
