    OP photo appears to show realistic colors tbf. Red cabbage, carrots and soybeans are naturally vibrant foods. Animal foods are just generally pale and greyish in comparison, as they are pieces of decomposing cadaver.

      Its subtle. While they’re close to real, I don’t think they’re truly making things up, the colors are definitely enhanced. You’re absolutely right that they choose vibrant foods, but here I’ve corrected by colormatching to the foods in my own fridge (under a full-spectrum light) to illustrate what’s going on.

      They’re using very cool lighting which is why the carrot looks a little undersaturared (I also suspect they were using an older carrot here, having spent way too long zoomed in on this image) but I matched on the cabbage and lima beans.

      It’s not bad per-se, but it’s an incredibly common thing to see with food photography and especially with raw food like this. With op, who is an egregiously terrible person posting nothing but this kind of enhanced photo, I felt it was worth calling out.
