You have the clipping indicator on, so the odd colors are those you've clipped. Look at either side of the Histogram. Upper right and left triangles. Click on them. 

If all of this doesn't go away (some should), disable GPU in your preferences, restart and let us know what you see.

If that doesn't work, you've got a corrupted display profile.

I understand clicking on the triagles for the clipping indicator lights however the unwanted colors continue once I open into Photoshop from Camera RAW.  Forgive me..."disable the GPU in your preferences". Can you help me a little further in finding that? THANKS SO MUCH!

In both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, there are preferences for GPU. In Photoshop, Preferences (on Ventura it is now called Settings) it is in performance. Similar for LR. Disable, restart and check. 

 

Also in newer versions of Photoshop, Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)" - Restart Photoshop.

    I realize this is a RAW file but it shows up on my completed files as well.  For some reason if I changed the calibration in RAW to 2 or 3 it will disapear.  Please help I'm going insane.  Thanks!
