Dynamic Lighting, player seeing black and white.

Hi all. I'm trying Dynamic Lighting for the first time for the Storm King's Thunder campaign which I also purchased from Roll20, but turns out my players can only see the map very dark. I'm kind of a newbie, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I really can't figure out what's going on... here's how the players see the map when they explore it:  At some point I managed for players to see in colour, but they would have infinite range of sight, only limited by walls, and I don't want that either.. can someone help me to figure it out? I'd appreciate it a lot. For refference, these are the character settings:  And this is the page settings: What am I doing wrong?

There needs to be a light source. Either a torch/lamp/whatever token that emits light that everyone can see (this can be the character token if they are holding said item), or the character needs to be emitting light that other players cannot see (for something like darkvision). Your token is emitting no light and as far as I can see, there is no light-emitting token nearby. "Global Illumination" gets rid of the need for light sources, but it does not play well with AFoW at the moment. If you turn it off, you need to have light come from something.
This worked.. I had fiddled with that before but only filled one field in the "emits light" instead of both. Thanks a lot for the answer!
