I have had this issue across multiple machines since the beginning of the EQEmu project until now. Opening a single instance of EQ adjusts the gamma of the entire system to be "brighter". Closing EQ by camping usually restores it to normal, but /q'ing or the game crashing on logout causes the gamma to "stick" in its brightest setting with no way to fix it other than: restarting PC, starting EQ again (which causes the gamma to shift back to normal and causes the game to appear "darker") and then forcing EQ to quit via task manager.

It has been a minor annoyance, and I don't even think about it much anymore, but it would be amazing if it were removed somehow.

I should note, I have only had this happen on window machines or windows VMs. I have actually not had this problem occur on linux or mac installs via wine or winEQ, which seems odd given other statements in this thread.
