Was the siding on the house one color before you added the bump map?

If that is the case you could always add more color to the texture.

If that isn’t the case though you could always try adding gamma correction to your scene. I had a bump map I was working with a while back and it was looking a lot darker than I wanted it to look, but when I added gamma correction it looked just how it should have.

Here is a good tutorial if you don’t know much about gamma correction.

i kind of found a work around, i had like a no texture put into the color slot. i duplicated the ramp that i used for bump, and used it also as color. looks kind of what i was going for
thnx
