Do you have Power Save Mode enabled? because there's another option in there that MAY be doing this...

Just a thought :D

Settings > display > auto adjust screen tone.

See if that helps any.

Came here to say exactly this. That option attempts to conserve battery power by dimming the screen whenever it detects that the screen is displaying mostly bright colors. An example of seeing this in action would be to open up Chrome and then pull up and down on your notification bar. You will see that the screen will brighten whenever the darker colors of the notification pane take over. It's not a bad feature at all.
