Sprite brighter than texture

Question

I have imported a new texture into UE, and have created a new sprite. I have setup the material of the sprite as follows:

I have also set my texture as texture-parameter. But my sprite renders brighter than its texture:

Why? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

It is probably the lighting in the scene - you can try to view your scene as Unlit (in editors viewport) then the texture should be the same colors as in the texture editor. — Coldsteel48, Commented Jun 28, 2019 at 18:23

Check the camera and light settings. The default camera uses eye adaptation to make everything in dark scene gradually brighter.

Try checking the sRGB checkbox and maybe change the compression settings. You could also try changing the brightness and brightness curve values.

\$\begingroup\$ What should the compression/brightness settings be changed to? \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ I usually go for default or BC7. However, I doubt any compression setting will do alot of change. You will get the biggest change out of the sRGB and brightness settings. I suppose the reason why it looks different in your game are all the shaders that are applied (unreal also enables alot of shaders by default). Lighting plays a big role too of course. \$\endgroup\$
