My new MacBook display has a pink-ish tint

I just got a white 1.83 MacBook yesterday. I do some graphic design work (nothing major). While comparing the same shots of a creme-colored building on both the MacBook and an Intel iMac, the 'Book displays the color as orange-pink rather than the ivory/off-white that it should be. I notice that it just seems to distort any light colors but doesn't affect darker earth tones.

Lovely.

Same here...just got my black Macbook today and it has the magenta tint. Have tried recalibrating to no avail. Very frustrating....I used iBook. I will be sending it back for an exchange.

I noted that I have a pink-ish tint background when viewing the
"im a Mac, Im a PC" new ads.... "Restarting" especially

Nothing like this on my iMac (Duo) or my cinema display.
