I think the Sony A6500 colors are significantly better than that in previous models (including all A7x's)

All of these were shot in Standard. The criterion was reproduction of what was seen. Obviously, that is not the aim of video or film, but if the starting point is off, it is more difficult to achieve a look one wants that deliberately distorts reality for a purpose.

Standard? No post? Impressive. Must give standard another try.

What turns out to be not so neutral are red and green. Though it looks pleasing at first glance, you might notice (in your beautiful videos as well) that areas with these colors look too uniform. Means that the naked eye will see less saturation and more luma detail. You can test this by placing a plant and red, pink and orange objects next to your monitor, record this with correct WB and then compare the image on the monitor directly with he colors before your eyes. You will also see this if you don't have a perfectly calibrated screen. Unfortunately, this also means skin tones are simplified. 

That said, there definitely was an improvement if I compare my A6500 shots to old A7s shots.
