At the top of your scene file try inserting the following line

global_settings { assumed_gamma 2.0 }

The smaller the number you use the brighter your scene will be.

Make sure that you are not using your monitor with the brightness
and contrast controls maxed out. If the black areas of the scene
look a little gray your monitor brightness/contrast is set too
high !!!


  The other alternative is to manualy adjust the brightness of your
scene objects by adjusting their ambient and diffuse values in the
finish statement.

example - finish { ambient .3 diffuse .5 }

or

Use more light sources or place them better ?
