It would look grey/blue because your filming in the shade .

You can see the line of the shadow on the road , whereas if you look over the road where the sun shines , it's a nice warm light .

It's the same on any digital camera , you need to correct the white balance .

Yours is set to either sunny , or most likely automatic ( AWB) .

Go into the manual settings and change it to "Shady' .

It'll warm it up and improve it no end !

If the "shady" setting turns it too straw/yellow coloured a milder setting is needed , so set it to "cloudy" .

What looks best depends on your camera and personal taste .

If you need the colours to be 100% accurate , you can set a custom white balance off a neutral target . The old tarmac should work .

This is an android phone so it doesn't have 'shady' or 'cloudy" as an option. I will have to play with WB.

When you say set it off the tarmac - you mean off the road surface?
