I have never played Astroneer and never will exactly because of the "vibrant colors". This applies to all games that use the latest dopamine injected "art style" of oversaturated sparkly neon colorful 2 year old baby toys. I hate it with all my black and red heart! I will never forgive Candy Crush for bringing this addiction to the masses.

I didn't know what "Astroneer" was until like 5 minutes ago and I'm not saying I want planets to be extremely overly vibrant, im saying that I don't like the direction of taking many of the somewhat colorful planets and just making them grayer. Essentially I want the planets to be colored more similarly to how they were in the original game.

Are you talking about this image (or maybe the previous one)?

Spoiler

To me it looks like the colors are washed out because the sun is in frame.

In the show and tell stuff both Minmus and and the surface of eve have quite desaturated colors, Minmus is greyer, and Eve's surface is significantly less purple.

It depends on the art style of the game. It works very well for Astroneer, which has a very cartoony style for starters. KSP could have had a style like that. diminishing very little from the game, but it didn't. As it stands, KSP has a style that, while not an exact replica of every day life, tries to convey some form of (perceived) realism.

I didn't mind the mint green of Minmus. I have seen rocks greener than that, even outside Marioworld. Of course we can have discussions on what can be formed with or without atmosphere, water, vulcanism, or billions of years, but in the end it's a game about orbital mechanics, not exogeology; the permitted artistic freedom in that direction will, on average, be quite high.

Maybe I didn't do a good job saying what I wanted to say, I meant I wanted the game to have planets that have pretty much the same colors as the original, I'm not asking for the planets to be made more colorful then they were in the first game, I'm saying I would prefer it if the planets did not become LESS colorful in KSP2.

I thought the screenshots of Eve looked really good, it feels like an actual planet and not some technicolor vomit. Minmus I could give or take, but the mint color was really ugly in the original.

Indeed. Colours are nice, but when overused, they lose their novelty fast.
