Two more images from this afternoon. The top one is the bottom of the small swimming pool at the Hotel San José. The bottom one is a detail from the courtyard at the Austin Motel. In both of them I think the color is just right. Not accurate, but just right.
Again: Leica SL (the original, professional, mirrorless camera) coupled with a well regarded zoom lens from the R camera era. It's the 35-70mm f4.0 R. It's lovely. I wish I were faster at focusing it. But what would be the fun in letting a camera do everything for you? Right?

Those are lovely colors. Out of curiosity, how do the SL2/SL2-S files differ?
If you shoot them the same way the SL2-S files look slightly richer while the SL2 files are slightly less saturated.
I meant, how do they differ from the original SL
Ah. The SL is magically perfect. If it had a bit lower noise above 1600 ISO it would be the perfect color camera. As long as you get the white balance correct. Saturation halfway between the SL2 and SL2-S, nothing over done. Just really, really nice. It's why I keep two of them around and shoot them often.
Thanks
Is there really such a thing as “accurate” color. My experience is that everybody perceives colors a little differently. You say tomato and I say tomahto.
