    @yolanda_13 more than likely it’s a monitor colour profile issue, close Photoshop and open Windows colour management and follow the below screenshots

    If its not happening in Illustrator - it’s the color profile specifically in Photoshop, not the system. Go to Edit>Color Settings and set them to North America General Purpose 2.

    I have come across this issue numerous times on the Photoshop forum, and even though it didn’t affect other Adobe apps, doing what I have posted above has fixed the issue with Photoshop.

    Just for testing purposes, I tried different colour profiles in Photoshop other than North America General Purpose 2 and could not reproduce the issue described by the OP.
