    I was having the exact same issue with my M14x when i got it.... Its a problem with the LEDs... Either one of the LEDs is not connected properly or is not working at all... This happens because the machine uses a combination of different colors to produce the selected color... In the case when one LED is not functioning properly, the color produced is wrong, which is what you are seeing....

    I called Alienware support guys and they sent over a tech to fix the LED... Relatively painless and happened over the next business day... You should try calling them up and tell them about this... They wont make a big fuss of it :)
