    My homepage image looks much darker than the image I uploaded. Same for other pages.

    My uploaded image is at:
    https://transformance.biz/wp-content/uploads/homepage-01.png

    Does anyone know what is causing this?

    Line 1621 starts the hero image and there is a background color applied to it.

    .hero-section::before {
        display: block !important;
        position: absolute;
        z-index: 1;
        top: 0;
        right: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        background: rgba(42, 49, 57, 0.5);
        content: '';
        pointer-events: none;
        transition: all 0.3s ease;
    }

    Remove that or just add this to the Addditional CSS box.

    .hero-section::before {
        background: none !important;
    }
