Question about my color palette falling apart on a client's website

My whole set of custom colors I built in Figma looked perfect until the client viewed it on their old office monitor, which made everything look muddy and washed out.

Old monitors can really mess with color. Have you tried checking your palette on a few different screens?

Actually, old monitors can totally shift colors to the wrong hue, not just wash them out. A really worn-out CRT could make a blue look greenish because the phosphors degrade unevenly. I've seen a design look fine on a modern screen but have a weird purple tint on an old office monitor. That's not just fading, it's the colors being completely off.

Yeah @nancy351, but old monitors usually just make colors look washed out, not wrong.
