What are you color preferences on the X series?

Hello all:

Although I haven't posted much at all on this forum (since I had the S5 Pro), I've been a long time DPReview poster in various forums since 2002.  Recently, I made the trek back to Fuji by getting the X10 (a year ago) and within the past few months...the X-E1.  And I'm perfectly satisfied with both.

On other fronts, I'm a heavy micro 4/3 user and have the likes of the OMD E-M5, E-PL5, E-P3, GX1 and GF1.  And I'm quite enamored with those models and their performance levels.

In getting back to the Fuji cameras, I've tried several color film settings so far, but I'm perplexed a bit here.  I recently tried the Velvia color setting - expecting to see reminders of what I used to cherish with Velvia film, but mannnnn.....this Velvia setting does not necessarily produce what I can remember with Velvia film.

I guess what I'm getting at here is, "which is the best film setting" for accurate color - nothing that has over contrasts or punchy colors.  So that's why I'm asking, "which color settings do you use - if you use them at all, and why?

Thanks for your indulgence of my question here.
