The filled color can only be as bright as the Sprite that it is filling. Choose a sprite that uses true white instead of the default one and it will be white.

The default sprite is not white.

So it’s not a sprite but rather a UnityEngine.UI.Panel.

I just discovered that deleting the source Image for the panel changes the value from SourceImage = Background to SourceImage = None (Sprite).

Then, it goes from gray to white and pays attention to the Color value as you stated.

Thanks.
