I have successfully connected my MacBook Pro to my Sharp HD tv via DVI to HDMI cable but the color (or tint) is way off. The color on the tv is way too red and too saturated. I can't find an adjustment on my Mac that allows me to change that. Any ideas?

Not enough information. What kind of adapter are you using from your MBP? You can not use a DVI to HDMI combo. You either need to use a DVI adapter from the MBP to a DVI cable to the TV or, an HDMI adapter to HDMI cable to the TV. You also need to tell us which MBP you have, year and model.

Try System Preferences>Displays, click on the Colour tab for the TV and then the calibrate button. This should bring up a calibration wizard which you can work through and adjust the colours to your liking.

A single DVI adapter to HDMI cable to the TV is OK. It's the use of two adapters that I was referring to. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
