You have killed the beauty.
When I first launched version 0.6.4d, I immediately got the feeling that something became wrong. The picture became faded, washed out, weather-stained, dim. Yes, the view of the water became a little more interesting. But the old view was not bad, and the view of the water is not important for this game. Yes, Captain of Industry is an outstanding game, but before it was very attractive also with its bright, saturated picture. Now it is not. I ask, I suggest and advise to return the picture for example of versions 0.4.14, 0.5.5d. Or make settings for brightness, saturation, gamma.
Happy New Year!
