All of a sudden, all my clips in the Preview Window have a green tinge and no red color..
Clips shown in the Media Library and on the Timeline have the correct colors.
Did I accidently set some global color control? Or is there some other reason?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
It sounds like an incompatible video codec, is this file any different from what you usually edit?
And, perhaps there was an update of your graphics or OS that is playing poorly with your file.
Try rollling back your graphics card driver, or unticking any hardware accelleration in Prefernces. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

Thanks I'll look into those possibilities.

In addition to Barry's helpful advice, you might want to take a look at this thread as well. Disabling hardware decoding may easily fix this issue for you:
