New to XLIGHTS - wanting rich dark light colors but getting lots of pastels

[xtalaz]

Hi all! First post here.

I am just learning the program, and would like some nice rich dark blues, reds, purples, greens, but they end up pastel-y most of the time. What settings should I be looking at to get the colors I want? I have figured out how to create custom colors but they are still too pastel. Thanks!

Lower your brightness or turn up your gamma.

Pixels are not linear in their response to the PWM power provided and RGB and are not equally bright either.

Coloring w light is different that coloring with pigment (and what you see on-screen isn’t necessarily what these pixels can actually output).
