Hello @Althiln

is there any contrast/gamma difference in other renderers, Skyline for example?
Also, would be great if you share this scene for further checking: https://upload.chaos.com/d/qa_corona@corona-renderer.com

You can not use the Windows 10 (or later) image viewer to compare colors. It won't respect color profiles and add some automatic contrast and saturation.
There's been a lot of discussion on this here on the forum, use the search function for more info.
Basically to get the same colors you have to:
- open your LDR image in PS
- assign the color profile Windows OS uses for your display
- convert profile to whatever you want it to be (sRGB or whatever you want to work in)
- make sure the profile you're using is embedded into the image file when saving
- view in an app that supports embedded profiles and doesn't add its own contrast/saturation punch

The Win image viewer will do things on its own, do not use it to judge colors.
