When a display shows an incorrect color, such as an overly blue hue, the first step should be to check that the monitor's color temperature settings haven't been altered. If the settings are set to a 'Cool' temperature, it might impart a blue tint to the display; setting it to a more 'Neutral' or 'Warm' setting may rectify the color balance. Checking the color temperature can often be an immediate and simple fix before exploring more complex hardware troubleshooting or calibrations involving color profiles and driver updates.
