Yes, it's bright, and not their true colors, but Shadow said that ... "It's bloom and most games have a setting that lets you adjust it, but Entropia doesn't have that setting and that is what causes certain things to be bright... like the scythe and some effects."
She showed me a photo of her bunny that glows bright too, and I can tell you that when I have my graphics set a certain way, my SPD dress will blind you too from a glitter part going full-on flashlight mode.
However, I was able to show the true colors of the Wahesh in the reflection of the water, which was kinda cool.
