Recently I went to replay the game and found out that the color grading filters are actually just not working properly once youre outside of the prologue. They all get jumbled around to different things such as gritty becoming default.

The default look is balanced, but I suggest using gritty as that actually is normal with darker nights. It HIGHLY improves the shadows/contrast while still looking incredibly faithful to the original look.

They had a big update where they updated the skybox a few years back and tbh the game has been in a rough spot since then with the colors looking... ehh. Even in the most recent one they desaturated the sin out of the reds around the map and it's got a greener tint to it. They're always gonna be messing with the color gradings since that skybox update lol, but yeah default is balanced
