Sorry to hear about this on your new phone.

There is a thread about this here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/red-discoloration-samsung-galaxy-s8-s8-t3591325

Samsung have advised that using the RGB sliders within the settings may help resolve the colour imbalance. Try this perhaps? And let us know if it works for you?
i tried the RGB sliders under settings and it helps a little but i have to move RED sliders all the way down. Something is definitely not right here.

My 8+ does and it's nasty. Very annoying. I'm calling tmo tomorrow. It's not noticable when you look at it straight on. When you tilt it to the left and tilt the top meaning looking from the bottom.

My screen is red, very noticeable. The slider helps, but it's only available in Adaptive mode, which isn't my preference. Pretty sure I'll be exchanging mine

It is on phones reported to have the issue.

You can be the judge. I've attached what my S8+ look like next to my s7 edge. I am not sure why the iphone camera makes the s7 so green but the s7 edge is perfectly normal and has the best whites.

There is a fix for it. It's not hardware related.. Search Google..
