Check the cable - wiggle it about a bit, especially at the ends near the
connectors, and try disconnecting and re-connecting the cable a few times
while watching the display. Maybe the connection has just come a bit
loose or there is a broken wire, and you are losing some of your
blue/green (leaving red).

If your monitor has color settings available from the front panel
controls, you could try adjusting them. Your blue/green guns may be
losing it, but you may be able to adjust them upwards again.

Note that I assume that the problem is with blue or green if you are
seeing pink (which means there is still red, but you are losing something
else). It is remotely possible that the problem is that the red is too
high, but there are less ways for this to occur.
