My Nikon D5000 started changing random parts of my photos to blue and purple while I was at a equestrian show. I originally suspected that the CCD had started to fail. However, I just replaced the sensor in the camera, and I am still getting the same result. I have tried different cards and updated the camera's firmware. I'm not sure what could be causing this.

The second picture shows the same snapshot taken with my D7100.

    \$\begingroup\$ Is this a JPG or a RAW file? If JPG, do the RAW files have the same problem? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Yes, the JPG and RAW files both look this way. I also noticed while focusing in live view the color distortion isn't present, but it returns once the camera locks focus. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ !!!??? Ouch, Whoever replaced the sensor should have fixed the problem, not just replace one part and not fixing it. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Did you replace the sensor, or did a service center? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Yep, you just had me thinking "If he is capable of replacing a sensor without making things worse, he probably knows more than we do already" :) \$\endgroup\$

Are you sure you didn't by accident change any settings in the camera's Retouch Menu?

This looks like extreme posterization or reversed color outline applied by in-camera "artistic" filters.
