Poll for less-saturated colours

For me the trees as they are look like this:

Or like:

I agree with the (probable) misuse of the word "saturated" colours and setting a slider would affect the entire sim... planes and all

but with your lower shot, I still don't see bright green trees
perhaps the difference between film media and digital media done with a poor gammut?

I agree and I don't. I think it all depends on season, tree species, lighting and atmosphere how you see the trees.

I remember very well that when the first screeshots of CoD came out my first reaction was: But no, these colours are far too saturated! This looks like plastic. The next time I took the plane I payed special attention to the colours and had to admit to myself that they are not bad in the end.

P.S. On the lower image I don't know about filters but that you can apply to any image that you see on the net - including yours. What I see is that the tone of very many of the trees is overall similar to that of the gras and not or not considerably darker. A few others are darker, others are brighter.

And you may post as many pictures as you want I always can put forward that the optics in this picture are wrong (just as you did wrt my lower picture). Then again I have to remember the sight I had during my plane flight. Do the same and judge.

The video with less saturated colours is, in my view, decidedly less realistic than the ingame appearance.

A low level of saturation only obscures the real imperfection--or slight inaccuracy--of the colours (in terms of hue and value) in the ingame 3D environment, and, as a matter of fact, zero saturation can do it with the best effect, LOL.
