NoiseColor
Color accuracy is good overall, despite some problems with yellows.
Color (12.54)
In our color accuracy test, we photograph a color chart and analyze how closely the camera captures this wide range of colors. We found that the Nikon did a very decent job here: most of the colors are very close to the originals. The only issues we saw are that some of the reds are a little muted, and the camera seems to be processing the skin colors to look a little more saturated, presumably to try and give you a healthy glow. More on how we test color.
We found that the standard color mode was the most accurate. The Vivid color mode was also fairly accurate, but it boosted the saturation of the colors significantly.

Color Modes (4.00)
The S1000pj offers 5 different color modes: standard, vivid, black & white, sepia and cyanotype. These modes do what you would expect, with the Cyanotype producing a blue and white that mimics one of the earliest types of photography, without the noxious chemicals.
