Your "eyes" are tremendously adapatable, and readjust their set point
for what "white" is. Under incandecents, "whites" are decideddly
reddish. Under Flourescents, green (You have surely taken pictures under
flourescents). But your brain renormalises its response so white stays
white.

Now, if you are in a green lit room, and your screen is "warm" it will
probably look very reddish.
