The pixies that live in each monitor choose to screw with us because we worship the wrong pagan deity. They are furious with us and our choice to live in sin with one another. No, it's not because you fornicate out of wedlock and live with your boyfriend and his bromance partner "Chuck". It's because you refuse to give the fair amount of tithes to the little sparkling demons in your computer, so they may sacrifice a smurf in the name of color consistency.

Hope that clears it up.

LOL @ Max.

Search for "color calibration" for information on adjusting your display(s) to be correct. Then bang your head in frustration at the fact that you can't get everyone to calibrate their displays, so they'll say things like "That picture is too dark and blue. WTF?"

Not to mention the effects of viewing angle of the monitor and ambient light in the room
