That looks fine on my screen, what gamma is your monitor set to

Color Calibration in OS X | 32packets

with the above you can choose 1.8 gamma (standard in print production) oe 2.2 (what windows uses), but 1.8 will give you a lighter screen, but check the other steps as well

System Preferences>Displays>Color> and select "Color LCD" which is the default profile shipped with your Mac.
