I overclocked my monitor and now colors seem darker

[VirtualBlack]

i have a 60 Hz monitor and i overclocked it to 70 Hz in the Nvidia Panel, and now the colors look darker, for example the gray looks like black. 

¿Should i return to 60 hz?

Tried color/contrast correction?

Overclocking monitors trades off color depth for higher framerate. It's all data that has to be processed by the control board of the monitor, which can only handle so much. In my opinion, it's not actually "overclocking" since no actual performance is increased, you just exchange some resources.

Probably had color range set to limited mode when you were at 60 Hz.

so, Is there a way to have the same color accuracy as i had when i were at 60 HZ?

You can go to the NVIDIA control panel and change dynamic range to limited RGB mode and see if it looks the same as before:

 

Spoiler

But it gives you less color accuracy, not more.

Are you saying that besides increasing the Hz, i also gain color accuracy?

When you connect a 1080p 60 Hz display, NVIDIA sometimes defaults to limited color range for compatibility with TVs. If you never changed that setting, then it would have stayed that way until you changed from 60 Hz.
