The range of colors a computer monitor can display is known as the gamut and the monitor s gamut has a different range of colors than an inkjet printer can often output. The Photoshop Gamut Warning feature (View>Gamut Warning) shows when the colors on screen are outside of the printer s capabilities by coloring the problem areas.
The Gamut Warning s job is to prevent disappointment when you work in RGB mode. It does so by highlighting all the pixels that are out of gamut or beyond the capabilities of the printer. With the feature turned on you can adjust the colors in the photo until no warning appears and therefore be assured that the colors you see on screen will print.
To adjust the color used for the warning go to Edit>Preferences>Transparency & Gamut.
