Newbie -colors change when placing PSDs or making anything transparent 1

[MsJess]

When I place a psd or make any image or type transparent in my doc. all of my colors (RGB) change drastically. Then, if I delete the PSD (or bring the opacity on type or an image back up to 100%) the colors change back to normal. Each spread in my document is affected individually. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Well, since this ended up being resolved by the boss man I figure it couldn't hurt to post the solution.

It was simply in my Transparency Blend Space option in the Edit drop down menu. That was set to Document CMYK as opposed to Document RGB. As soon as I changed it to RGB all of my color problems were solved.
