  Can anyone help with the dark paint colors? Whites are not white, more of a grey color, are these texture issues? Room is very dark even with 20 recessed lights set at 40 to 60 watts, windows added, sunlight in, adjusted the lighting in the settings before render and room still looks dark. Windows blow out the cabinet sides even with the sun effect turned off. Never had these issues before and it is happening on 4 different computers.
  
  All computers are very high end Dell Precision Workstations with Nvidia Quadro graphics cards with 8GB 256 memory on the cards. Lighting is terrible, will this be fixed soon? Shouldn’t need to spend this much time just getting the lighting correct. I see that other designers use the ceiling light in their renders and it just looks bad with the big light dot in the renders.

  Hi Chuck,
  
  The Ambient light setting might be what you are looking for to bring up general light in the design. you might also want to try playing with the exposure feature.
  
  Also make sure you are running version 11.5.2 as version 11.5.1 did have some issues with dark textures.
