I would recommend checking youtube on how to set/ rebuild an arcade monitor. There are test screens where you can adjust the color. This process of fine tuning can take some time. If your test screen looks good but the game colors do not look correct, you may have an issue with the game pcb. If your test screen is bad, your color transistor/s may be bad.
