Hi,
Recently updated from 2021.8 to 2022.5
For some reason, all my Light button components now look really faded.
The color when turning the light on used to be a really noticeable yellow.
Any ideas?

It wasn’t the latest version. It was quite a while ago that the light colour changed to represent either the colour temperature or colour (for RGB) of the light.

Not yet. There’s an issue open about it:

integration: light
### The problem
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/55219
this PR fo… rces color temp lights to report RGB values to change the color of the icon, breaking the aesthetics of most themes and leaving it almost impossible to distinguish between lights that are on vs off at a glance. As lights that are off are white and lights that cool white are also the same white.
### What is version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2021.9.5
### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

### Additional information
Most themes, the off color of icons is white. So if lights are on cool white they are now also white and impossible to distinguish from off. And when on and warm white they have an orangy icon. These icons used to follow the current theme and only adjust based on brightness while maintaining the color of the theme.

here the Lamps are ON but cool white, the ceiling and closet are off. Previously they would have been the themes color for on, in this case yellow.

Top 3 are not color temp lights while the bottom 3 are, completely breaking the consistency of the theme and every other icon.
Different attributes when on vs off

Color temp bulbs are not RGB and the attribute shouldn't be forced onto the entities. This was a "bug" previously when lights were reporting incorrect supported features, https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/52661, and now it is baked in as an actual "feature".
