Hi FERN,
Not sure what you mean by "bad colour"? Washed out colours? Or bleeding of colours? If that is indeed the problem, it might be related to the focus which can be adjust on the LOTP (Line Output Transformer). But if you are not a qualified TV technician or an electronics/electrical engineer, I suggest you do not attempt to open up your TV back cover to get access to the LOTP.
If however the problem you are describing is different, than the following might help, depending on how you experienced and confident you are with electronics in general:
1) find the type number of your TV
2) found out which chassis is being used in your TV: list of chassis numbers linked to various Philips TVs can be found on http://majority.110mb.com/index.htm
3) find repair tips for your chassis on this website http://www.hamradio-badarc.co.uk/fault_database.htm and check out the repair tips
The above is assuming that you need hardware adjustments.
Philips Matchline TVs however do also allow for software adjustments and alignment though. I would try that first. Go to http://majority.110mb.com/index.htm and find the service mode code that you need for your TV. But you will need a Philips (compatible) remote to active it. A word of caution: if you do not really understand TV alignment, you might make the problem much worse that it is.
I hope this will help you.
Good luck.
PS: service manuals of Philips TVs can fairly easiliy be found on the web or alternatively can be obtained from "Philips fans"-websites.
