How do I make the colors match between two different monitors?

Question

I have two monitors. Windows on one screen appear with a yellow background (instead of transparent/white).

When I move a window between the monitors it changes its background color.

Any idea how do I remove the yellow background?

I have tried all suggestions with color management - did not solve my problem.

I run Windows 7 Ultimate

Two monitors:

• Samsung SyncMaster 226bw
• MAG ck2255af

This is not a duplicate question since it has nothing to do with Monitor Calibration Software.

The solution (by AFH) is adjusting the monitor itself by changing to warm temperature.

Solution

You haven't said how your monitors are connected, but, unless you deliberately set different colour profiles on the two interfaces (which you can verify by swapping the connectors) the difference is going to be the colour settings on the monitor itself.

First, try raising the colour temperature; then, if you can't get a satisfactory balance, adjust the individual colours.

An alternative approach is to look at the settings on the other monitor and duplicate them, before making adjustments from there if necessary.
