Colors appear washed out?

*Please refer to attached image*

The company I work for has specific colors we use for elements, line types, hatching, etc. All of a sudden all of the colors on my screen appear to be washed out. These colors are supposed to be vibrant and stand out. It's almost as if I've accidentally toggled a setting that has caused this to happen. I know it's not my monitor as the correct colors appear as they should under the line styles. This isn't project specific either as I've opened many of my previous projects to find that all of the colors are faded/washed out. I've been through Revit's settings and I can't figure out what I did for the life of me to cause this to happen?

What do the original vibrant colors look like, so we can compare?

[hmedcalfL23J7]

I circled what color the hatching on the wall should be. It's significantly faded. I know this isn't an issue inside of object styles or graphics overrides. It's just Revit entirely for every project. I've even tried creating a new family to find that the colors are washed out

This maybe window display issue. Check windows and see if you have brightness and color set to auto.

Set the background color to true Black.

I wish it was that simple. Windows and my monitor are displaying colors correctly. The 2nd attached image shows the colors as they appear on my monitor. Revit has just faded them in model space. I've also tried changing background to true black. The colors in model space stay washed out regardless of background color. There must be something hidden in Revit's settings that would cause this to happen

post the file (RVT)

The file is a client's future home so it is confidential, therefore I cannot post the file. As I stated above, the issue is not specific to this file. If I open any project I've worked on the past year the colors appear to be washed out and faded. It wasn't until today that I've had this issue occur. Has to be a Revit setting that has been toggled. I've clicked every button on the UI trying to figure out what would cause this to happen to my software entirely

If you draw a solid filled region with the same wall hatch color, does it look faded as well?

[barthbradley]

Maybe it's hardware related. Update the Graphics Card or Disable Hardware Acceleration.  

[hmedcalfL23J7]

Yes, unfortunately

Uncheck Hardware Accelerations and see if the colors changed.  If so, it's your graphic card / driver.

[hmedcalfL23J7]

I can see if I have a driver update but AutoCAD is displaying the colors correctly. I'm almost at the point of reinstalling Revit to see if that will fix it 

[syman2000]

If you turn off the dark mode, does the color revert back to the original color?

[hmedcalfL23J7]

That did not change the colors appearance

[hmedcalfL23J7]

No, color stays the same but with a white background

[barthbradley]

Installed the most recent update? 

[hmedcalfL23J7]

Yes, we're on Revit 2024.2 correct?

Any third-party add-ons?
