Hello, Jingoraitin, and thank you so much for replying! Considering how niche the issue is and, as you said, the amount of tinkering it would require to fix, I really do appreciate your help!
I have updated my GPU driver as requested. I also double checked, if a specific color/gamma profile gets loaded by my monitor when I launch WoW, but that is not the case. I also tried Windowed mode instead of Windowed (Fullscreen) - still no change.
Under advanced system settings, I have been trying to tinker with the Contrast/Brightness/Gamma sliders, but I can’t get it right. I am just offsetting the problem by fixing colors, but making shadows worse. Then fixing shadows and breaking colors again etc. This is the core of the issue.
I have taken some screenshots for you using the default Contrast 50, Brightness 50 and Gamma 1.0 settings, as requested. I think these 3 showcase what I am seeing best. I took two of them inside an instance to control for the time of day influencing the lighting. I apologize for the crude link formatting, but I am not allowed to post links for some reason.

Here are my MsInfo and DxDiag files:

MsInfo: pastebin. com/1LCUBP3P (I have cut out the Windows Error Reporting section to fit into Pastebin’s 512 KB guest limit. I looked through it - it’s mostly my Corsair keyboard software flooding it with junk reports. Nothing unusual, as far as I can see.)

I believe this is everything. Thank you once again for your time and help! I am looking forward to your reply!
