Lion's Arch Washed Out Colors
I believe that when the developers re-added the old Lion’s Arch to the personal story, they added with it an old-style post processing to give it a nostalgic feel to those of us that remember the old one and to help let you know this takes place in the past, rather than present. So it is intended.
I’ll see if I can find the post on that.
Its sepia, it’s because its suppose to remind you that this is in the past
Turn off post processing and it should return to brighter colors.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.
