The term actually references the blues from the original SD9 which tended to produce some very deep blues. In some cases they were spot on the color as seen by the human eye and in other cases the blues were pretty but not natural.

Below is an actual sample from my SD9 which is very close to the actual appearance of the sky on that day...

Original color from SD9 - close to reality in this case....

This was actually the second image I took with the SD9. It was one of those crisp, extremely cold fall Colorado mornings with the sky as deep blue as I've ever seen. I received the first SD9 availale in Colorado and eventually sold it to Laurence - I think he still has it...  I hope this answers the question about yellows. My SD9 did not mute the yellows in any way as can be seen by these yellow and gold Aspen leaves.

Best regards,
