I had similar results with my 4000ED. How to address it depends on
how you have color management set up in the preferences dialog.
If you have color management ON, then first go into the color
management tab in preferences and make sure that the monitor profile
it shows is the one you're actually using. If not then change it.
Then, if you choose Adobe RGB as the output profile, NikonScan will
convert the scan's colors to that color space and tag it with that
profile. This is all nice and automatic.
However if you choose one of the other color spaces, such as "wide
gamut", or "wide gamut (compensated)" NikonScan will CONVERT the
colors in the scan to the selected color space but will TAG it with
the AdobeRGB profile, which seems brain dead to me! So you have to
manually assign the correct profile to the scan, after which its
colors should look a lot better.
See if any of that helps.
