[OpenFOAM] Why the color of this slice in paraview is so dark?

Hello guys,

I make a slice in paraview, but why it looks so dark from the bottom to up view? It behaves normal from the up to bottom camera view.

Hi,

Perhaps it is because of your light settings in paraFoam? Try going to View -> View Settings -> Lights and see if adjusting this helps.

Regards,
Nicole
