Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11 - Removing Color Profiles

Here is an example of the same image viewed in a program with the correct color profile (bottom) and a program with the incorrect color profile (top):

Note that a yellowish tint isn't necessarily indicative of the wrong monitor profile. It could be color settings on the monitor itself. However, you can eliminate this as a possibility by removing the color profile, if there is one. Also, using the wrong monitor profile can show up in multiple ways, such as any kind of tint or images being too bright/not bright enough.

1. Go to the Start menu.
2. Open the Control Panel (see Windows 8 - Accessing the Control Panel for instructions if necessary).
3. Type "color management" into the search bar located at the top of the window, and then click Color Management.
4. Select the desired monitor under the Devices tab.
5. Check the box labeled Use my settings for this device.
6. Select the desired color profile, and click the Remove button at the bottom of the window.
7. When promoted to confirm, click Continue.

Windows 11 Alternative Method

While the described process still works for Windows 11, there is also a new alternative way to remove color profiles.

1. Open Settings > System > Display.
2. Click on Color profile.
3. Expand the profile you want to delete and click Remove.
