Screen capture - grey background

[transphasic]

Hello all. If I press cmd-shift-4 to capture a section/selection of a window, the mac creates an image file much darker than it appears originally.

Can this greying-out of screenshots be stopped so they appear as bright as they originally appear? My attachment is a good example, see how dark it is?

Problem solved, terminal code found online removes this annoying effect.

Care to share the code for others?

Please share the code, the same thing is happening to me.

Edit: fixed. My display brightness was turned down (I noticed in the BetterDisplay software), so I turned it back up to 100%, and the screenshots have a proper white balance again. I guess due to the way screenshots were taken, the darkness was compounding, so screenshots had 2x "non-brightness". Very strange, possibly a macOS bug.
