Help changing lighting color [Universal VTT Importer]

Hi there! I imported lighting from Universal VTT Importer, and I'd love help getting rid of the strange blue and green lights around light sources. Im not experienced enough to know how they got there, nor how to fix it.
I'm no help here, but I'm following this thread to see what answers you get because I have no idea how to even create those effects, let alone get rid of them!

Hi Morrigan! That is weird. Are you using any tinted tights or vision? Tints do not usually interact well, creating odd effects where they overlap..

How can I find out if I am? Everything was imported, so I don't know where to find what you're asking for.
Other than Daylight Mode under a maps' page settings, anything that emits light or had vision will have a token. Light emitting tokens may  have been placed on the lighting or map layers. Double-clicking on a token will open its token settings; clicking on that menu's Dynamic Lighting tab will open a menu showing whether that token has vision enabled or if it emits light (it's a long menu, so you'll need to scroll down to see all of it). You can look at those settings to see if that light source's have been set up to have a color or tint.
Okay! They have a tint, but it's like a soft yellow. Why would that produce a blue and green visual instead of yellow? I'm in the process of changing them all to transparent, but it's a little odd how yellow color made green and blue instead.

Yup. A) Color on an RGB monitor does not work like color mixing with physical pigments, and B) the color mixing is apparently being done with kust mixing transparency of a color overlay instead of actually color shifting anything or employing a blend mode. This is going to cause unexpected and unpredictable results. I avoid tinted light or vision except in very limited circumstances. It's just not worth the hassle.
Okay! Should I make the light Transparent or make it White?
I recommend using transparent. I haven't had much luck with using tints for vision. I do use tints sparsely for some light effects, such as giving a dim 1 ft. radius colored glow to an item just for flavor. Morrigan said: Okay! Should I make the light Transparent or make it White?

Definitely Transparent. White is actually a color that can be up to 100% opaque.
