The X100T is what put me off adopting Fujifilm as a system - I love the camera and still use it but just cant get the colours right - Capture One does a very good demosaicing job to the point of almost no worms and colour artifacts are visible but sadly, the X100T became a forever B&W camera.

Why not send it off for a full spectrum conversion?

After using Canon, I didn't love the color coming out of my new Panasonic gx9 either. Color was ok right out of the camera, but not as pretty as the the canon, especially skin tones and I gradually stopped using it. So I sent it off for a Full Spectrum Camera Conversion. Basically they charge you a lot of money to remove a small square of glass, in my case, from over the sensor. Now, I shoot a variety of infra-red photography, and, if I want "normal" color I use an external filter that duplicates the little piece of glass that was removed. Not all glass is equal, and the set up I have now produces color I love, really pleasing to me. Still experimenting with B&W but liking what I am getting.

Kolari on the east coast, Lifepixel on the west coast.
