1100D not recognising Blue, Yellow colors

Hello
I am facing a strange issue with my 1100d dslr, wherein for some reason it is unable to process colors like Blue, Yellow. I haven't done extensive testing yet to determine the full range of failure but these 2 colors were fairly obvious. The photos come out very monochromatic because its converting these 2 colors to grey or something like that. I am able to see Red, Pink and Green i think clearly in the pics.
I have tested with 2 lenses so far with the same results, it is a 3 year old camera. I have cleared all settings from the menu but that didn't fix it.
Welcome your suggestions.
Thanks

You'll need to include example photos.  Plus cameras don't see colors.

Sure I will attach some later in the day today. Sorry about the technicalities of it but from my perspective/layman's perspective its the camera not giving the colors that it can see in the photo.

Once in a while it is able to produce a photo which is half color and half monochromatic indicating some interim issues inside.

Have you tried a different memory card? This sort of fault an be caused by a memory card starting to go bad.

Sorry guys, reviving the old thread as i got busy with too many things.

Attached is a sample click of a bright blue ball for reference.

Having said that I will try a different sd card to confirm. thanks

Re: 1100D not recognising Blue, Yellow colors

Are you shooting Jpeg or raw? If raw, how do you process? If Jpeg, what colourpace & white balance?

Hi, I shoot jpegs. Color space tried both srgb and adobe rgb with same result. WB Shift/KT read 0, 0/+-0.

picture style tried standard and landscape with same result. No adjustments. I actually did a reset before trying again.

Judging by the full size image, there seems to be something seriously wrong with either your camera (most likely) or your processing software. That weird vertical raster should definitely not be there.
