I recently noticed that several apps on my Windows 11 system have an orange or warm color cast. It appears consistently in Brave, Copilot, and Edge, but not in AVG Browser or built-in apps such as Settings, Notepad, and the Microsoft Store. Night light is disabled. I checked and reset my Dell E178FP monitor settings, reset Brave's theme settings, and restarted the graphics driver with Windows+Ctrl+Shift+B, but nothing changed. The tint also appears in screenshots, although I'm not sure whether that rules out a monitor problem because I'm viewing the screenshots on the same display. What could be causing this?

A screenshot viewed on the same monitor cannot prove whether the monitor is at fault. Open the screenshot on your phone or another display and compare it there. If the colors look normal elsewhere, the issue is probably the monitor, its color profile, or a display setting rather than Windows or the apps.
I checked it on my phone, and the orange cast only appears in the screenshot from one of the affected apps, so it may be related to how that app is rendering rather than the monitor itself.
