So there I was working along fine one day when I opened up a .cdr file and all of the colours are now flurescent. Almost every colour has gotten 10x brighter and taken on a horrible fluro look.

This happens on every document I open - it doesn't happen on our other machine so I know nothing is wrong with the files, it's just some display issue. Have I accidentally clicked some display setting I don't know about? I can't use the program like this and have no idea how to correct it.

Any ideas?

Since your display does not echo on the other machine, I would think that somehow you messed up your color management settings. To check if you may have, on the second machine go to Menu->Tools->Color Managment and look at the selections. Then on the trouble machine, check to see if they are the same. If not, make the troubled machine's color management settings to be the same as the "good display" machine.

Let us know your results.

Yes there was a setting changed there.

 I have the same problem and even though I have brought the settings to the same as another machine, my Cyan still displays as Turquoise.

Is there a way to refresh colour settings or reset it to default?
