Description

as seen here: in this reddit thread

the main issue is that textures drawn with images have this weird pale effect on them, almost like an srgb color correction. Is there a workaround or fix for this yet?

Whether this is intentional or not, and whether there is a workaround or not, my issue is that this should not be the current default behaviour.

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sprite bleaching described in the linked Reddit thread with the default OpenGL settings and image textures. Trace the sprite rendering and texture color handling to determine whether the pale appearance is intentional. Done means documenting the expected behavior and providing a fix or confirmed workaround for the current default behavior.
