It's a puzzle a to why it should look pink. According to the instrument, it is quite blue (approx. 7000K white point), and very close to the daylight locus (0.3 delta E), which is the reference for neutrality. Either something is wrong with the instrument, or environmental factors are influencing the subjective impression.
When adjusting the white point, it started with R+ G-- B+. After decreasing the green level a bit this changed into the reverse (R- G++ B-), sometimes changing into R= G= B= without touching the monitor controls. I still think this is odd.
Why do you think this is odd ? The real world has noise and non-repeatability in it. Graeme Gill.
