Hello all, not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question so sorry if it is not, but anyways. I just switched out a graphics card because my previous one went bad and now the colors on one of my screens is really weird. For example, if the color on my desktop is orange it will show up as green on my bad desktop. I have tried switching the connections on both monitors and what that did is make the other monitor behave like the bad one and the bad one was now normal. Does this mean that my graphics card is bad? Thank you in advanced.

Hard to diagnose in this situation. Because it could just well be your monitors having issues through your confusing description about switching screens and the bad one bcomes normal or bad one gives you weird color.

It could be your monitors going bad, you bought a gimped card, or bad cables.

Try another cable, preferrably HDMI, and see if it gives you weird color. Then try that on multiple monitors and preferably if you have a TV, try it on the TV. Because none of your monitors are giving a consistent solution.
