Gents,    Thank you both very kindly for your responses. I first played WOFF 15 or so years ago ( 2009 ish, it was called OFF back then ) - and as you can imagine a few things have changed.   You both have allayed my misconceptions regarding the brightness and vibrancy levels and I thank you both.  It makes sense now that it's been mentioned that YouTubes are mostly historical / gloomy playthroughs graphics-wise.  Good to hear the devs are looking at giving us options you are very right @Raine .. the AI and immersion more than compensates and yes I'm sure after a bit I won't even notice the palettes.   Took a quick peek at some of your offerings @VonS and they appear to be quite comprehensive.  I'll load em up once I get more into WOFF again.  Thanks again for the advices ....
