Majorly Annoying Photoshop Bug?

Greetings, I recently had this very troubling error (at least I THINK it is an error. Otherwise I could be a boob who can't tell his butt from a hole in the ground) where the typically "grey" space around an image I am working on whem maximized, has turned a rather horrid shade of ORANGE. I mean, makes my eyes sore staring at it longer than 5 minutes, bad.

Here is a screengrab of what I am talking about...

Does anyone have ANY idea how to fix this. I have looked up help topics, I have have searched knowlege bases, without even really knowing what to search for. I have even tried reinstalling photoshop and it STILL is orange. I am really at my wits end about this as I need photoshop for my work, but I can't work with that orange.

Thanks
Reno

Change your foreground color to the nice shade of default gray, and using the Paintbucket tool, SHIFT+CLICK the orange area. You can do this for other colors as well. And instead of a bug, it's more of an underappreciated convenience.

Thank you, thank you THANK YOU! Been using this program all this time, and I never knew that. Guess ya learn something new every day! :eek:

Thanks again!

Hehe, a clear case of something so easy it passes over your head, eh ?
I did know that, but only after searching the internet for a solution, due to the fact that my area around the workspace was..softly pink...Now, a man can't have that, can he ?

and after searching for ever (or atleast a few minutes), I found out just what mooch says...I really freaked out. I could have tried that, it's not hard even to think if...

P...

Patteman, now tell me what sort of things were you designing with that pink? a label for your ...backup hard drives... ;)

Haha, well, now that is a total secret...*read adult website* LOL ;)

No, I do not know how i got that pink there to begin with, but I know it drove me mad not to be able to change it...'til I got a hold of how...
