    I find the colours to much , maybe over saturated and unrealistic ! Is that just me or do others see AMS 2 a bit (dare i say) "cartoony" and feel a saturation slider may help ? I do love AMS 2 but there is just something detracting from giving me that wow factor with the way it looks :(

    I suppose this is the default aesthetics of the Madness Engine. It mirrors well the vibe of AMS1 I think. Although I understand one could want a bit less saturation.
    You can make it look depressive and serious looking using overcast weather.
    Other than that, you can experiment with Reshade.

    I think there's something wrong with the colours when using heavy cloud and overcast. It gets some weird shadowy/blurry colourwashing or so, but the rest is fine, I think.

    I would love colour/saturation per country or so. When I am in Ireland or in Ukraine the colours seems to be different when I am some in the Netherlands.

    I always use overcast weather ( i dislike the bad shadows so much) and it is still over saturated IMO :( Does reshade help much ? I wonder if it could help with the aliasing also ?

    Perhaps just be patient and hope Reiza reads this and can inform us. First what I would do is look up your monitor and surf the internet for tips to make the colours appear better.

    This website is a good start: ICC Profiles and Monitor Settings Database - TFTCentral

    Agree on the waiting for Reiza but not on the change monitor colours for a single game!

    I agree. Even tried to record a video and mess with colors to post in the forum but I am horrible with that. I don't like PC2 colors and I think AMS2 is in some way better but (possible bs* alert) I think AMS2 is a better that goes in the same direction. I would love if the game goes in a completely different direction, to a most colour realistic aproach for the pallete. But, to be honest, I can't se this happening at this point of development.

    Yup, i agree. At some occasions of daylight, weather, track and car liveries, AMS2 can be a bit cartoon-ish in look.

    With a Saturation, Exposure and Contrast setting, it would be amazing, also for all the screenshot-guys out there.

    No high priority thing, but would be a nice to have.^^
