Whenever I open Overwatch, it causes all my monitors to shift slightly in color, giving them a faint red/orange tint.
I first observed this yesterday, and the colors return to normal when I close Overwatch.
Windows night light is currently turned off.

Overwatch also offers its own color options, both within the game and through the graphics card's interface. Team Fortress 2 provides a comparable feature but only adjusts contrast based on its own presets.

1) When F.lux is set up, it may be disabled during gameplay.
2) Activating bluelight reduction or night mode might cause it to be turned off.
3) The issue could also relate to UI settings for color-blindness mode.

Haven't noticed this myself in quite a while but I'm betting this is it.  I remember some games used to have their own colour settings and rather than just applying in-game, it would change the whole system at launch and then change back when you left.  Problems started when you force quit them and they didn't set things back... for this and other reasons I always thought it was an odd way to do things, but perhaps there's a technical reason I don't understand.

The same issue is occurring again, have you resolved it?

Back when I was using OW on my 1060, I encountered a problem where the game would unexpectedly switch to a yellow or purple tint mode. I discovered it was highly affected by VRAM OC settings on my graphics card—no other games had this issue, but OW consistently altered colors due to the OC. Removing the OC from the VRAM didn’t resolve the problem.

Thanks a lot, I was really stressed about getting the RMA for my monitor, but it worked!
