Installed ACES color management to Blender now im confused!

You probably have the texture color space wrong. ACES can be annoying that way.

  • Base color/ color texures: Utility - sRGB Texture or role_matte_paint
  • HDRIs : Utility - Linear sRGB
  • Non color data: Utility - Raw or role_data

I created an addon that auto assigns the color space based a tag in the texture name e.i. Character_BaseColor or Character_Normal
