That is why I do nothing with MS 8 other than the 8 Start button.

Try a different browser. I switched from Firefox to IE and the colors went back to normal.
 
As much as I hate Windows 8, I'm glad I haven't 'upgraded' to 8.1 yet after reading this.
Are you folks on desktops or tablets?
 
I'm thinking about getting a mac the next time I get a pc. I am using windows 7. I don't want windows 8. At all.
 
Next one is gonna be a laptop. I am tired of this huge bulky thing.

I have an all in one I love it.....

I use my iPad when not on this and a notebook when I travel...the notebook and all in one have 8.1 I like it
 
It has been driving me crazy. I only see it when posting in the advanced mode on this site. I don't want to stop using Firefox just to avoid it, maybe I will switch to the basic mode by default.

DON'T upgrade to 8.1. I repeat, DON'T upgrade to 8.1! Revert back to your original installation. I tried last night to upgrade, it caused a exception_not_handled BSOD. It then kicked me back to my Win 7 drive. I spent the better part of 2 hours restoring my original operating system.

I speak having been from hell and back. Don't touch Windows 8.1.

I am a desktop user, incidentally.

Did you run the upgrade assistant first?
