I’d dare say _most of_ default values related to lights and colors have been changed between these two releases - [related 1](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/updates-to-color-management-in-three-js-r152/50791), [related 2](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/updates-to-lighting-in-three-js-r155/53733). In both threads there’s a section related to porting previous versions of three to the new lights & color setup.

But in case of the screenshots - (1) change all `.encoding` in textures to `.colorSpace`, and (2) make sure color textures (ie. scene.background texture and `.map` textures on the models) are SRGB encoded - then things should look good again 👌
