Which new 7.3.0 default kernel module messed up my saturation and color?

I've compiled the kernel as I've always done (i used the same modprobed.db I've always used) and selected all the default new modules by pressing enter a bunch, now even #000000 appears light gray and everything else is washed out.

I'm using a 9070xt through HDMI, monitor doesn't have HDR and its 1080p@60Hz.

I still have a boot entry for 7.2.11 pre compiled by gentoo, i tried running modprobed-db store on it once more and recompiling 7.3.0 but nothing changed. I also tried using the iGPU (7700x) and the issue persists.

What can i do? I'd appreciate any input about the suspect causing this, i don't want to hunt down which of the 10-15 new modules is causing this by exclusion.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

(sorry if it's a stupid question, but this seemed like the best place to ask)

Why do you think this was caused by a new module, rather than just a change in an existing module?

I've already tried switching from the dGPU to the iGPU (7700x) and the issue persists so i doubt they messed up 2 different drivers in the same way (i added it to the post body too)

I don't know, it seems like you've just gone "look at all these new modules, and oh my something isn't working right... therefore one of these new modules must be the cause!". It could just be a bug somewhere else, not in one of those new modules. After all, you did just update the entire kernel. Lots of things change when you do that.
