It’s a cube object I’ve instanced in particle system. The output on blender render window looks like this:
But the image looks like this (flat):
This is the material on the cube (I’ve modified the volume to make it look like a sphere)
The idea for doing this was that so the particle system would have less geometry to process (cube vs sphere).
But the output looks flat later, why is that?
Note: The same issue does not occur when spheres are instanced.
Here’s the blender file for reference: Particle on Single Bubble (Forum)

Hi,
Have you tried to switch between View Transform options under Color Management tab?
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your response. 
Yes, on your suggestion right now - I tried all the view transform options. The problem persisted.

Also, make sure that both of Scene Lights and World options are turned on for your viewport shading

So you’re doing an animation?
Done. Both were/are turned on.
Yes, simple particle simulation.

Got it,
Check out this one article:
As far as I know, it’s a common problem when it comes to an animation.
