As for the solution, a light source change should "fix" it. I'm using an OttLite desk lamp for reading, which I highly recommend and it gives out approx sunlight temperature(6k-6.5k kevin). If the screen looks too green/blueish under your house's lighting condition, you're probably using florescent light. If you don't have a neutral light source, try switching to an incandescent light source. It'll be on the low end(2k-3k kevin) but it should most definitely not look green/blue anymore.
Okay you have finally gone over my head

I don't use any light but the ceiling light for reading. It's one those mercury filled can't define my shape ones. Seeing they outlawing the old light bulbs now we don't have any choice.

Why does the K4 do this but not the K3 if they are the same and it's my light I am using?
