This is what I see on my Sharp LCD magnified a lot. At original size the overall color impression is manila folder yellow. Zoomed in the color ranges from eggshell white or off white to khaki. Now, if I use my Huey color correction device, it drops the color temperature down to 6200°K and everything shifts into the greenish-brown side of the spectrum just a touch.
What may be happening is the LCDs are using sRGB colorspace and the CRT may be manual. Check the color temperature on the CRT, they were typically set at 9200°K for a bright screen but totally whacked colors.

I must say I'm impressed but also confused. And my eyes don't see color consistantly. Or my brain doesn't. I have to stare at the image to see the differences you marked, It might be my monitor skewing what I'm seeing, too.
I don't understand, though, what your actually saying about the colors. Is your monitor messed up or is the picture messed up? Or is nothing messed up and I have no idea what your saying at all?
I vote #3.

This was in response to another post by someone else asking what colors we were seeing. He has three monitors and each one showed different colors. This is just a breakdown of what colors i was seeing. I put it in scraps and didn't realize other folks would see it but I guess it doesn't work that way.
Here is a very complete monitor calibration page that will get your monitor close to what it should be. http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
