I may have triggered some keyboard shortcut that permanently dimmed my macOS Chrome browser’s windows.
- I can't figure out how to undo it.
- I've tried resetting all chrome settings back to default and toggling
Note that I have already tried deleting and reinstalling Chrome. I did not delete profile information from
Force Color Profile
setting in chrome://flags (from default to sRGB) as suggested to no avail. This is only affecting the Chrome app.
Attached screenshot shows safari window (left) and chrome window.

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
though.
Chrome: Version 118.0.5993.117 (Official Build) (arm64)
MacOS: Ventura 13.6
mac: M1 Macbook Pro
Is this some feature of Chrome or is this the macOS window manager or contrast setting in accessibility settings?
