Why is youtube yellow?

Why is youtube yellow?

I can't find anything on the web about this. And how to fix this.

I had a similar issue with win7 and photos, but there I only had to set a color profile.

I am using firefox.

Many thanks.

What did you find when you tried a different browser?

I think in chrome it is fine.
For both win7 and win10.

I didn't notice any change on mine.

The only yellowing I know is night-color/nightlight/f.lux/whatever it is called feature of the OS, where all the screen is shifted to warmer colors after sunset.  If the geolocation is wrong, that might turn the screen warmer during day instead of night.

Looks fine to me on Win10 and Edge. But it is odd that the actual video seems to have changed colour. The YT border is still white. That's not what I expect to see from a general warming in the evening if that's what you have set.

My first thought was YT is doing an experiment for a selection of users but still wouldn't expect them to change the actual video.

Most likely a color profile issue.

Firefox has its own color profile settings if I'm not mistaken.

Because electrons are yellow. Everyone knows that.

And if you look REAL close at an analog signal,
You will find that it has discrete steps.

Actually I saw a confusion why are electrons represented  as blue in chemistry.
It is because the electirc spark is blue , right?

Aw, just leave it to the chemists to muddle everything up. My physics books show yellow electrons and I am sticking to that.
