Well, I come home from work, open up my PB, and EVERYTHING is in negative art! EVERYTHING. I go to the color preferences in sys prefs, and everything is the way it should be. I try the colorsync utility, and everything comes up roses. I restart my PB and everything is great, normal color, and after the menu bar loads up, POP, it goes into negative art mode. HOW DO I GET MY COLOR BACK?! Is it in some kind of "mode" i don't know about?! HELP!

It sounds like you're in one of the Universal Access modes. Go to your System Preferences and click on "Universal Access." Under Display, "white on black" may be selected. Click on the "black on white" button to get your display back to normal.
