Sprite darker that thought

Hello, as you can see in the picture i have two instances of the same sprite.

the one on the right is a UI image and the one on the left is a sprite object with the default sprite material.

i don’t understand why the sprite shows darker than it should be. There are no UIs between the sprite and the camera. Also if i make the test on a new clean project the sprite shows correctly. there is obviously some parameter that i fail to check. Where do you think i should check?

thanks!

I have Found the Issue. Indeed There WAS a UI between the sprite and the camera as i was using “Screen Space-Overlay”
