Do you see the difference in images above?

There’s a slight hue difference, but (a) what’s to say that one is better, or more accurate, than the other? (b) with weather like that the colour of the light can change quickly and (c) you’ve not told us whether you’re using a fixed or auto white balance so all bets are off 😉

Neither of the shots seem to exhibit anything that suggests an inferior lens.

a) Viltrox is clearly inferior regarding sharpness,

bc) It is my subjective judgement

I checked the Exif for the Fuji image. Auto white balance. You can’t assess a lens’s colour response if you’re using auto white balance. It doesn’t stay constant. Nor does the lighting: the shadows have clearly moved in the time between the two photos being taken, so the light will have changed as well as the white balance. There is simply no comparison that can be made here.

These images illustrate the difference

I have no purpose to convince anybody

More scientific approach with color charts and grayscale is welcome

This part of lens tests is almost non-existent nowadays
