In what way:
- Monitors OSD?
- Windows?
- AMD or NVIDIA control panels?

I don't understand, so the colors are or are not washed out after turning HDR off? Or are you referring to some skewed color gammut?

Like the back-light is darker or the general visual perception of darkness?

im sorry bro I'm exhausted and didnt realize that it kinda doesnt make sense, i changed into HDR mode in the game, and I guess it reset SOMETHING, monitor overall just does not look the same, like I said washed out and gamma got thrown out of wack maybe. and yes the backlight is like crazy noticeable now I guess

Try "Windows HD Color settings"

Maybe you can turn it off or on there.

Nvidia GPU? You could navigate to your Nvidia control panel and look under "Adjust desktop color settings," see if anything has changed. Under "Change resolution' there are also some settings related to color.
Does your monitor have any sort of "menu?" Mine has a button on the underside that lets me access a menu with settings to adjust.
EDIT: Specifically I would make sure "Output Dynamic Range" under "Change Resolution" is set to Full.

Still don't know why windows defaults that to limited, when it straight up knows the monitor can take full or not. Baring some mad lad whipping out 1080p VGA.
