    Hi, I am a graphic designer and I am having an issue with the blue on my screen appearing as green on other screens and when I print. I am using the color listed below for a project. However, whenever I show it on a different computer screen it goes from a pleasant baby blue to a weird teal color. It occurs when I print the project as well, so I have concluded that it must be something wrong with the display on my laptop. The problem is, I'm a graphic designer, not a computer person. I have no idea how to go about fixing this. I've fiddled around in the control panel a bit, but couldn't find an option that fit what I needed to fix. If anyone could help me out, I'd be really appreciative. The color formula for the blue/green I'm using is below.

    C= 30%
    M= 0%
    Y= 24%
    K= 26%

    It could be the icc color profile, in Photoshop a common mistake is to set the monitor icc profile.
