Running xgamma -gamma 1.0 fixes the colors (at least until the next time you attempt to switch VTs).

sounds to me like this could be the same basic issue as 522849... -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
xgamma reports values of 1.0 across the board while the colors are wrong, so unless the gamma fade is done without the knowledge of the X server, that probably isn't the problem.
hmm, I see. Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
