When you open a photo in Windows Photo Gallery, it looks too yellowish (or too redish or too greenihs or too blueish), but when you open it in another picture viewer such as IrfanView or XnView, it looks quite normal and all colors are well balanced. It’s especially noticable when opening scanned documents and the paper doesn’t look white. The thing is that Windows Color Management Profile affects how photos look when viewed in Windows Photo Gallery and probably there is some specific profile associated with your current display (monitor). In order to fix this you need to do this:
1. Open Control Panel and choose Personalization
2. Choose Display Settings 
3. Click the button Advanced Settings 
4. Go to tab Color Management 
5. Click the button Color Management
6. In Device drop down listr choose Display
7. Make sure that checkbox Use my settings for this device is checked
8. Choose and remove your currently associated profile by clicking on the Remove button
9. Click the Add button and add sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Color Space Profile
10. Apply the changes and restart your computer.
Now photos and scans should look fine.
