It looks tanned on my monitor.

You could match the colors on your monitors with a calibration device.

If that doesn't work, it might be because some monitors get this disgusting yellow tint over time.  It could be a combination of the plastics being exposed to heat or light.  It could even be caused by smoking around your monitor after a while.

it looks more tan on my monitors also, but the question is not how it looks on monitors as no monitor (even when calibrated perfectly) is ever an exact replica of how an image will actually print. My suggestion would be to do some print tests with it, and then you will know how it actually is. good luck
