Description

Hello, I just noticed that the inner part of the candlesticks shows different color than their edges and wicks. The edges and wicks are significantly lighter. Is there a way to make them the same color?
I'm a bit surprised. Not sure which one, edge and wick or the body, is of the color I provide to the style?

Curious to know. Thank you!
