I once graded a few shots of Star Wars and thought it looked great… Until I played it back on a few other monitors. My grading monitor turned out to be very pink, and I had compensated for that, making it swing way too far the other way on just about all other devices.

It is totally true that no matter how well calibrated your monitor is, any samples you post will look at least slightly different on anybody else’s screen, probably even slightly different browser to browser on the same screen. However, you now have multiple people here telling you that your screen shots are WAY off where they should be.

Perhaps if these same people were standing right behind you, looking at your screen and they could see what you see, they wouldn’t be so critical. (Chances are they would still argue that you need more blue, or less red, or something like that, but they probably wouldn’t think it looks awful).

However, everybody here believes you are making terrible color choices, which means that either your monitor is way off, or you see colors in a very different way to the rest of us.
