Washed out / colorless renders

TheresaGutmann

Hi everybody,

I have a general issue with almost all my renders. I am not able to achive strong colourfull renders. They always look like "washed out". I tried to adjust lights, tonemapping, gamma, saturation etc. nothing worked.

I try to achieve the picture quality like in the pormo pictures in the attached link: https://www.daz3d.com/z-fitting-room-environment (just an example). Same issue with indoor and outdoor scenes.

Can anyone help or give me a hint?

Thanks in advance

One or two (ToS-compliant) examples might help to understand the issue

A lot of the time, people's renders look washed out because they only use pure white lights. If you use other colors, not just white, the colors will pop out a little more.
