Colours/Background messed up in VNC Viewer

I've set up vncserver on my new build and I can connect using RealVNC VNC Viewer, however the colours are a bit off and it looks kind of awful. See this screenshot:

What can I do to put this right?

I've been using depth 24 when creating the vnc session, but as far as I can see no other depths make a difference. Is it something else?

If you want full wicked colours follow this simple steps:

1. Open VNC VIEWER

2. Select OPTIONS

3. Unselect Adapt to Network Speed

4. Drag the bar to the quality you wish to have

5. To the Right is the best colour option but uses more bandwidth. To the left you have less bandwidth use but also less colours.

Now connect to the place you want.

Never mind, I just changed the desktop background to a plain color and it's okay now.
