    All of the swatches in photoshop that should be red or orange have turned magenta.
    It does not matter what color management I set it to, everything stays magenta.
    Does anyone know what happened?

    Thanks in advance.

    Turns Magenta when? printed or on the screen? If it’s on the screen make sure quick mask in not on.

    The colors are wrong on the monitor. I printed a quick test and the colors are fine on the print out. I checked and quick mask is not on. It’s weird. Anything that should be red, orange, or purple displays as magenta, but only in photoshop. If I open the same file in Image Ready or even Preview, everything looks normal.

    You monitor might need to be calibrated or maybe it’s going bad.
