High Contrast of 3D window

I have no idea what caused this but for some reason my 3D model window is super high contrast, and I can't figure out how to get it back to normal. See snapshot below. Everything else in the window (toolbars, process flow, etc.) are all still normal. Is there a setting in Flexsim to fix this?

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.0

It looks like you may have created several Directional Lights in your model.

Check your Toolbox to see if you have light sources that you didn't mean to add to your model.

You can check under File > Global Preferences > Graphics to see if the preferences have been changed there.

You can also see if there's a different light source or fog or something (see View Settings in Quick Properties when nothing highlighted in 3D).

These are the only FlexSim settings I can think of that would affect this.
