Alcohol, a toothbrush, and some mild elbow grease will probably do
well enough, although I'd doubt that that's the problem.

Does it look deliberate?

Turn off the light, to see if the colors look right.

If monitor is getting old, the colors will start becoming faded in
light, and you'll have to start turning light down or off to see
dimmer colors properly.

As in previous message, best way to be sure is to compare to another;
either try that monitor with another computer and/or try another
monitor with that computer.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
