First of all let me start by apologizing because this is the first time I am posting on the forum so I don't really know much about how it works. I just hope I'm in the right area.
And a second apology because I have been trying to have the pictures visible for 1hour to no avail. So there's only links. For reference, I decided to add a screenshot of the entire face with a bit of background showing so you can see it's actually the night/day and I'm not messing around X)
I've recently tried the new Benchmark and enjoyed it a lot! My character looks very cute! But I couldn't help but notice a weird change in the limbal ring's reaction at night. Where the lighter rings look very nice glowing, you can't really say the same for darker rings. I don't really know if it was intended or not, but the glow of it makes it somehow disappear? (Well it doesn't help that my choice of colours is dark blue on light blue so it does seem invisible) Black limbal ring seems to be the only exception. I'm assuming it is because of the glow on a dark colour, it's just light theory really. My issue is that it was/is not like this as of pre-graphic update.
I joined here screenshots of my character currently, with the same colours

As you can see, the limbal ring is still visible even at night. And that's the case for all "dark" limbal rings past a certain lightness.
Here is now the same colours but in Benchmark. As you can see the limbal ring is almost invisible in the night.

For reference, I am using the RGB: 36, 43, 56 in the benchmark. The before last darkest blue in the blue line.
Overall I don't know if it's just colour theory, an intended change, or a bug, but someone told me to post in on the forums maybe so that's what I did. Point still stands that it was way more visible in pre-dawntrail.
Here are some more screenshots, with other colours of the eye base while still keeping the same colour of the limbal ring so you can judge by yourself. Thank you for reading!

I would be really grateful if fellow au'ra players could give me their feedback on this because I didn't see anyone with this issue, as most people use a light limbal ring from what I've gathered. Please and thank you <3
