The Grass and Vegetation colours are too light: Yes or No

Trees are the worst part, easily fixed by making them rich dark green, 2 second job in texture editor. *sigh*

Before everyone gets too excited about the "right" colors, bear in mind that the developers have probably used calibrated monitors, while 99.9% of players just use out-of-the box flat screens, which are too bright by default, have poor color gamut and a rather cold color temperature. Simply put, today's cheap, big TFTs are rubbish. I use an older, high-end, calibrated CRT and many different TFTs side by side and the difference is drastic.

Before any valid statement on colors can be made, monitors should be calibrated:

TFTs that acutally have a decent gamut are really really expensive

Then perhaps the game's colour palatte should be designed to work with the monitors we have rather than the really expensive ones we don't?

...Because everyone's monitor is slightly different and nothing the team will do will look quite right for everyone. Additionally, on properly calibrated screens, things will look too dark.

But frankly, I think the CoD colors are fine as they are.

Color and gamma settings should be customisable ingame, but in such a way that nobody can draw advantages from some extreme settings in online gameplay.

Can't you customise some of the settings in your gfx driver specifically for this game? I use custom gfx settings for IL2FB in my nvidia driver, however i don't remember whether gamma and color settings can be changed.

Green is supposed to be such a 'calming' colour........

This wouldn't be a good idea because the aircraft colours and sky are fine as they are, it's just the landscapes that are too bright and pale a green to match the real thing. If we adjust out monitors to darken the land, we will also affect the sky and aircraft.

I do a bit of gliding and I would described the South of England in summer as having greens that vary from bright green to dark green, with the trees generally appearing darker than the fields.

Again, here is the SW of England in late summer from about 2,500' and RoF's colours for comparison.

I was watching a well known UK tv show, just as I was thinking about this issue. I guess that this is Jersey Island, but thats not far off the mark...

It looks to me personally a bit like in a cartoon.

If one would black+whiten all textures slightly, it would look perfect.

Bu this is only my personal opinion.

And on whose screen are they to base the colours ? Your's or mine ?
Bacause the whole point is that the colour on the the cheap screens differ WIDELY !!!
They make colour profile fit your screen then the colours are dark and bland on mine or 90% of the other ppl. You say lots of ppl complain about the colours , but in truth I only see a few ppl that complain very loudly about it.

Dont complain about the colours unless you have a proper calibrated screen + neutral gamma + you passed a colour blind test .
If you pass the three criteria above (and have proof) , then by all means.

But if your are a typical games ( specially Shooters ) then your gamma is probably way to high. Adjust it in your graphics Drivers..
Also ppl tend to up their gamma to help them see on night missions , don't expect accurate colour saturation if you do , and don't complain if you did..
