I never really noticed this until recently taking photos at sunset with the E-P1 of the Golden Gate Bridge. My Pentax K-x can do the colors perfectly, but the E-P1 struggles and gives it a kind of muddy look that isn't quite right, which is even visible in the RAW files and is almost impossible to fix. The colors are definitely not right though. Has anyone else had this experience? It's strange that this is the only real time I've been able to notice this on my camera.

I never had problems with colours from my E-P1. Except some purple flowers.
Are you using AutoWB?
Post a photo, we might be able to fix it for you...

I've never had any issues with colours or white balance either, in fact I think the colours this camera can render are amazing.

Same here.

It could also have to do with the range of the lenses used on both cameras. I should have tried the Pentax with the kit lens in the same place to see what happened, but I was too caught up in the beauty of the moment to remember.
