Color Problem? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So i took photos at my brothers graduation yesterday. They look fine, colors and everything, on the LCD for the camera...but when I import them into aperture or even just view them in preview, the colors are off (his graduation robe is blue and it turns up almost purple on my screen). My monitor is calibrated with a huey, so that isn't the problem. Any ideas?

is the camera set to save a jpg and RAW? (jpg camera preview could have color adjustments done to them before saving, where the raw file will default to a standard setting, possibly loosing some color? Also do you have any setting on the camera for specific color modes, for instance my 40d has a landscape mode which saturates colors more? do you use a nikon?
troll was having similar issues.

I had the almost the same issue with my Nikon. When I would Open the Raw file in CS3 the colors looked dull, but if I opened them up in Capture NX the colors where the same as they where on the LCD of the camera. So it could be what program you edit with also.
