I've had a similar problem going on over at one of the work benches, however
it's the cable and not the monitor or video card.  I just wanted to mention
this as an alternative item to check.  Mine is the cable right where it goes
into the connector that hooks up to the vga card.  If I move the cable a bit
and perhaps relieve a bit of the strain on it, the color snaps back to full.

Just a little aside to check.
Best of Luck

Dave
