Hello there-

I do apologize if this has been covered before in another thread or otherwise elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find any information on it. Basically, my problem is that my white paint is appearing the wrong color, and my orange paint is obnoxiously bright. Blue, for some reason, has no problems. The effects work properly for all 3, as well as what is applied to surfaces. It's just the blobs rendering wrong but I can't figure out why. Here's some screenshots:

Here's the different things I've tried so far (all have the same result):
-LDR (without cubemaps)
-LDR (with cubemaps)
-HDR (without cubemaps)
-HDR (with cubemaps)

Is this just on this map or on all maps?
Maybe you installed a custom VPK file (any downloaded one). VPKs will load everytime with the game, and if any of these changed the colors, you will have to remove this VPK or you keep your actual colors.

'Tis just this map. Plus I don't have any VPK's installed at the moment.
