I have just installed a new Samsung 913T monitor. The colorcast is to
magenta. I've gone into KDE to change the color balance and then click
Apply. The changes appear until I exit the KDE applet when they revert to
magenta.

Are there other color balance settings that may be overriding what I am
trying to set via KDE?

What you set in KDE is set as a regular user. A monitor is a hardware
device and could therefore only be set up through software from within
the root account.

However, I have never seen any monitor color balance applet in KDE - I'm
not on the most recent distribution here, though - and to my knowledge,
the correct way to set the color balance of a monitor has always been
to adjust it on the monitor itself.

Every modern monitor should allow you to adjust its color balance.
