My recordings are fine, but my streams look washed out.

I'm trying to start a career with content creation and I use OBS for both streaming and recording, the obs preview and my recordings look perfectly fine, but whenever I stream the colors are super washed out. I've been pulling my hair out for hours playing with color and video settings in obs, control panel, and windows on both of my monitors (they are 1080p250hz and 1080p165hz if that matters) and nothing is helping. I went to google, a few forums on here, and a few reddit posts and all anyone talks about is turning HDR off (which I never had on in the first place) so I'm very lost. Is anyone else having this issue or does anyone have any ideas to fix it?

https://imgur.com/a/ds28zZT the stream is to the left, and obs is to the right. By the webcam alone you can tell this issue is MURDERING the quality of my streams, its pretty demotivating so if anyone has any solutions or ideas for me I'd really appreciate it.

Any chance you have HRD on for your display ? I had a friend have a similar issue looked fine to him when he was playing and watching stuff but when streaming colors were very off.

No Ive triple checked for HDR everywhere, I've never used it or had it on in the first place

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...
