The Witcher was gray and dark.
the witcher was dark, but also used a fair ammount of bloom.
and here is a screenshot of the more sunny side of the witcher. Looks pretty colorful to me (and it is cloudy!)

I agree, but this is usually paired by "cloudy weather", in a swamp (fog) or near a vulcano. These are "natural" dark makers of an environent. but looking at the angle of the light, it looks like it is almost noon. That means to me that the texture in this region are not reflecting enough light.
If you mean the brightness difference, I have no doubt your motor skills are capable of using a Brightness slider
It is a combination of brightness, contrast and saturation.
