Color Changing from computer to TV playing

[Greg Barringer]

Are you sure the color on your monitor is correct? Monitors can be calibrated for color using a device like an XRite Eye One Display2 or a Colordata Spyder3.
Is the TV set to standard color? Is it in sports mode or some other setting? It’s also possible to calibrate the TV.

Colors on monitors, printers DSLR cameras and other devices can be set to an international standard called an ICC Profile. ICC is the International Color Consortium.

My first thought is no. The same color is present in the company logo and it did not shift.

Here is more info:
The video is actually a slide show and the color that shifted is a background color used to behind the photographs.

I can view the slideshow AVI file from the computer with no color shift.
When I play the DVD on an HD TV the background color shifts but the actual slides do not.

Thanks

Some colours are a real pain to accurately reproduce on a TV set as opposed to a computer.
All I can suggest is to experiment with a few different shades of your original colour until you get the one you want.
Remember to save them as presets (or write down the RGB values) so that you’ll be able to reproduce it again.
BTW, my preference for a background colour behind pictures is dark gray (RGB 60 to 100).

My guess is still monitor calibration. A calibration device, like I mentioned, creates a profile for the monitor. Blues, greens and especially purple are where you’ll see a difference. If color is important to you then purchase a calibrator, color will be dead on. I prefer the XRite Eye One Display2.

If it’s only a moderate concern you can calibrate by eye. Mpix.com has an inexpensive photo and cd that can be used to adjust monitor color by eye. You can also use a something like an XRite ColorChecker Classic or a good colorful photo and adjust saturation and hue manually.
