Why does a white background look grey once added to the VSE as a scene strip? In Grease Pencil this is how the image looks with a nice white background.

When the same is imported to video sequencer I get a solid grey background. I tried putting a white solid behind to see if there was any transparency issue but the grey remains.
I need a proper white background, how to achieve the same.
A friend sorted it out for me. Color Management was the issue. In Video Editing&gt;Render Properties&gt;Color Management&gt;View Transform&gt; Change it from default Filmic to Standard.
Pls don't ask in detail what Filmic is etc, I don't understand.
