"Realistic" Color Vs Versatile Color

[Koh]

We're all familiar with the trope, Real is Brown, yes? But how many of you actually like those kinds of graphics, versus graphics that have a more versatile color scheme?

Naturally, I like vibrant and colorful colors. It adds so much more beauty to the world, and is also so much more appealing to the eye. So naturally, when a remake of a game comes out, that tries to be more "realistic" by blending brown with everything, it turns out looking like shit in my eyes. For example, compare these versions of Final Fantasy 4's Dwarven Castle.

SNES (Original)


PSP (Remake)


DS (3D Remake)


What the hell happened to the color variety in the DS remake? That makes the area so much more bland and dull looking in my eyes.
