Discovering the SD15...

The greens here do have rather a SD9 greyness to them. In fact the whole image looks to have very greyish, low contrast look. I think this is likely to more a processing choice than the sensor.

I tried to adjust the colors. Increasing saturation made the nearby greens good, but the grass in the background still was grey, even though it is in the sun. The blue flower though got a tendency of over saturation before the nearby green looked good. I think it is the same problem as always. The color space is seriously bent, like space in the Einstein universe. It is possible to correct, but you need to do serious stuff.

My sense is that Foveon colour becomes more believable and more "Bayerish" with every Foveon generation. The SD9 in particular is peculiar, the SD14 can do nice looking colour if you can tame its tendency to green-yellow overall casts. But for me all the early cameras tended to do odd things to some colours and tended to respond dramatically to the colour temperature of the light. I don't like my SD9 or Sd14 in warmish light, it gets far to yellow/warm looking for my taste. The newer cameras, incl the SD15 seem to have a much cooler rendition that I prefer. The quattros seem to be the most "normal" of all. Some people might think they are too Bayer like?

Good to hear you guys are still hard at work with your dev work, is any kind of progress report hint possible?

As usual ... things are not progressing as fast as you want and first estimated. But ... something is going to happen.
