Could be anything:
- Bad monitor/settings,
- Missing R and B lines,
- Bad SCART cable (hence missing R and B lines).
- Faulty PSX.

My bet is on the SCART cable. Take it apart and take some photos please.

It happens on 7xxx and 9xxx PSX.
Without 180 resistor color is ok, but without RGB mode.

I think my TV is shit. I will check on another TV.

Use a multi-meter and test each pin from a diagram online to see if they match pinouts correctly.
It's a bit of work and it takes time, but it'll have to be done.
