Also be alert for optical illusions, they can cause people to lose a lot of time looking for a problem that does not exist. In this image the reds are certainly identical, but few people will see them that way.

That reminds me of this one - the centre squares on each face are the same colour

Is it the lighting?

It definitely sounds like an issue with your monitor. Try this test page - the words should be all but invisible when viewed straight on :

The colors are all exactly the same... it must be your monitor, lighting in your workspace, something other than PS... try looking at this on something else - open this page on your phone or someone else's computer - they are the same.

Yes, the example pairs are all identical.

 

It's most likely a TN panel display. TN panels are used in laptops, gaming and office monitors. The viewing angles are so restricted that brightness seems to vary between top and bottom of the screen.

 

For photography and graphics an IPS-type panel is preferred because it has much wider viewing angles.

 

If that's not it, it's a seriously defective display and it needs replacement.

I believe your display probably has warm and cool spots. That is the most common reason you'd see the difference.  As long as your color #s match, you are ok though.

We believe your monitor is faulty. To check this, rotate the image by 180 degrees. The "light" image at top left will now be bottom right. Is it still light, or is it now the dark part.

Hi,

The uniformity of your monitor is wrong.
Check the color values in Photoshop.

I'm _really_ sorry because I am not going to help you, because we can't see enough detail in your screen shots.  It's totally not your fault.   The forum software was changed a wee while back, and it messed up putting images on forum posts.

 

When resetting Preferences you need to see a small dialog box that asks you to confirm that you want to go ahead with the reset.  If you don't see the dialog box then you are not resetting.

It is a good idea to reset photoshop preferences first,

If you are on windows hold down ctrl + Alt + shift while the application is opening or cmd + opt + shift if you are on mac.

 

if that does not work, reinstall a fresh version of the application
