Character creation screen colors are too blue

Colors in the current (Blackwood) character creation screen are much more blue toned than they are in the actual game.

Here is a side-by-side of chars using the same skin, hair, and eye colors.

Would it be possible to adjust the lighting so it is a little warmer and brighter to make character creation better?

    The character creation has always needed to allow players to view their characters in multiple lighting options. Why this has not been implemented is folly whatever the excuse.

    Yeah, with last character I made last week, I thought I'm taking lighter black hair (little grayish) but after creation I found out it's dark brown -_-

    Adjust your screen! Just run the windows color correction wizard.

    It's not side-by-side comparison, left is low res, right is high res and the lighting is completely different. The light and mood will change everywhere you go, so fear not. You have made a very pretty Orc :)

    Thanks it's my first orc! :)

    The pictures should be the same resolution, I just cropped the left image more I guess so it looks lower resolution. I totally agree that the lighting changes everywhere, however it is definitely more blue in the creation screen than in most places in the game - including the cell in Balfieria (tutorial) that I think is shown in the creation screen.

    I get that the creation screen location is part of the story so they don't want to change that, but they could increase the warmth and brightness a tad just for that screen. I don't think that would break immersion!
