That rather depends on the "math" you are using. It would be wrong to
assume that popular commercial packages represent the state of the art
in this area.
Peter Figen's solution of editing profiles is fitting and probably the best
quick-fix of the problem for the time being. Unfortunately, he has to take
the time (and therefore money) to make it work as well as we expect it
should out-of-the-box.
Generally hand edited profiles have some rather odd distortions in their
color mapping, from various examples I've come across. Profiles generated
automatically seem to have more consistent behavior throughout the colorspace.
Of course, hand editing may be your only alternative to solving an immediate
problem.
If the greenish-yellow is common to so many different packages and imaging
devices, maybe the problem is really in the original formula.
I can't really imagine what you mean by "the" original formula.
