This is my 3D widget in my BP

This is how it appears in the level

My level contains no lighting of post process

Found the fix here: [Browser 3D widget looks washed out. - #3 by anonymous\_user\_8fd11f73](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/browser-3d-widget-looks-washed-out/366547/3)

The default material outputs SRGB whereas 3DWidget expects Linear RGB, thus this issue.
