A colour problem with my K5
Just pick one of regular ones - so natural/landscape etc. Each individual preset can be further adjusted so I'd make sure these settings are at their defaults as well.
Take a photo of a white or grey card in daylight with the camera set to daylight or AWB.
The histogram should just show 3 spikes about 2mm wide directly in line vertically.
I would use RAW + JPG although either should work.

So if you look in the manual under "Using the (Green) Mode" - p103 in K5, p90 in K5II - it lists the automatic, ie forced, settings in Green mode. the only colour affecting ones are:
White Balance is forced to AWB (Auto) and Custom Image to Bright (and Color Space sRGB). So try those in JPEG and see if the non-Green modes are then OK. If so it has to be one of those White Balance or Custom settings which have been changed inadvertently.
Or give up entirely on JPEG and shoot RAW
1st image: Image Tone=Bright; White Balance=Auto; White Balance Shift=0
2nd image: Image Tone=Bleach bypass; White Balance=Flash; White Balance Shift=A7 (red)
.....presumably causing the red toning.
Cheers.

I just switched back to 'Natural' and all has been fine since

I had the same problem with my K5, it turned out I'd somehow managed to switch to 'Bleach bypass' in the custom settings (button on the right of the control pad)
I just switched back to 'Natural' and all has been fine since .
That fixed it. thanks to all of you for your info and help.
I thought I had to buy a new camera. I never ever used this button before, but must have accidently touched it and altered the settings.
Thanks again, all of you.

And another one for myself.
Then I go to bed, it is 11:30 pm here in Melbourne.

I checked all the settings WB, filters etc. I also reloaded the software.
Yo may think that the sensor has a problem, But:
It doesn't happen when the camera is set to green mode. Then everything is ok.
On any other setting AV, TAV etc it has this problem.
Did any of you encountered a similar phenomena, or is my a first?
