I am having trouble with the fire effect. I have a 1500 pixel matrix. I have the falcon turned down to 40%. The bottom of the fire effect is more green than yellow. Adjusting the value on the Falcon just dims the pixels but it doesn't change the color. I can't seem to find the right setting in X-lights either. I'm sure it's something simple.

There's a hue shift slider in the effect window. Make sure it's set at 0 and that should give you the nice red, orange and yellow colors for the effect.

If it's not hue then you may need to lower the green dimming curve for the model.

Hue is at zero and it's still greenish

I really thought this was it. When I lowered just the green dimming curve it just got darker, but the same greenish tint. I then just tried on with yellow and it's the same problem, can't get rid of the greenish tint.

Do other effects look OK? Just making sure you don't have the order wrong (RGB, BGR, etc).
If you apply simple effects, just red, blue, or green what does it look like?

RGB all look great. Purple, orange, teal all good. It's just yellow. I'm sitting outside now trying all different combinations and I can't change the greenish yellow to green, I have also checked with my family and neighbors to make sure it's not just me.

Does is look yellow to you on the computer?
I'd quit testing with the Fire effect just use On effects to figure out how the colors translate to your hardware. Yellow is 100% red and 100% green and 0% blue so if yellow looks green there is a problem with not enough red in relation to green. You should have been able to reduce the green dimming curve enough that yellow would eventually look pure red. If you're not seeing that you got something wrong in that hardware.
