It always shows up x.v. color in the receiver information screen. Did I just get a bad disc maybe? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like a hardware issue, not a disc issue.
"Turning it off" where? In your receiver, your player, or your TV?
What player are you using? What RGB range is your player set to output now, because obviously your Denon thinks it's accepting a signal with an expanded RGB range hence the "x.v. color" on its display (which I believe is Sony's proprietary name for this new bullshit, or one of them at least - I know their new camcorders use it). Check any Deep Color / xvYCC / x.v. color / Expanded RGB setting on your BD player.
If you have a PS3 try setting "Deep color" to off, RGB to limited. I don't have a PS3, but anything within your PS3 (or Sony machine, assuming you have one) regarding "Deep Color",
or expanded RGB, or xvYCC, or x.v. color, etc - turn those off. Any setting relating the the RGB / color gamut - make sure it says normal and not "full" or "expanded" in your player's settings.
It looks this new expanded color option could cause issues for you unless you're using Sony equipment designed specifically for it. If you're using a Sony player, it could be that it's compatible with this new expanded color gamut Sony bullshit and it's sending the signal along and it's confusing the two pieces of equipment further down in the chain (even though the Denon is recognizing it as "x.v color", which sounds about right, but it might not be cooperating with your UT50 either.)

Did you enable full-range RGB on your Panny thinking that would solve the problem? That might not be the best idea (I don't have a UT50 personally)
based on what I've read. Set that to normal.
This is all assuming you don't use anything that utilizes the expanded RGB range (not sure if certain games do or anything, but no movies on BD apart from Ghostbusters and these new "mastered in 4K titles" do as far as I'm aware)... if Ghostbusters is the only thing you use that does it's kind of useless to have all those settings enabled if it won't allow you to play it properly with them on all (if that's even what's causing the problem).
