full frame colors

I never realized that. Thanks. So differences are probably in the codec or what not.
An argument i read a lot is that the reduced noise of FF increases color purity / vibrancy.
This sounds like a good point but only at higher iso. (Ken Rockwell 5d vs d200 below).
The FF looks a little more vibrant to me here, but i would say its more exposed.
Yes i think its the shallow dof that is attracting me, not the colors.

Sensor size has nothing to do with it. You must just like the colors from a certain manufacturer (plural?) that also makes full frame cameras.
Bump!
My new idea is that large sensors have better saturation since greater light sensitivity allows for stronger (purer) color filters.
More filtration= less light, and crop sensors may use less filtration in order to compete in low light performance.
I'm thinking a color purity graph between full-frame and crop sensor might look something like this:
http://www.cnet.com/news/what-are-quantum-dots-and-how-could-they-help-your-next-tv/
Where the blue curve would represent a crop sensor's approximation (due to weak filtering) of full frame color distribution.
The Curve's broad peaks would allow color contamination in the rgb channels and subsequently de-satruation.
Don't know about you, but comparing clips from the GH4 & BlackMagic to full frame usually looks something like this:
Btw these images are taken from another context to illustrate the idea.
What's more I don't think the difference would really be correct-able in post.
Increasing saturation usually clips information (or does it) assuming exposure was correct.

That could happen, except, it usually doesn't: I haven't seen any evidence that any manufacturer uses a stronger color filter array on bigger sensors. Well, maybe one case: I think the uglier colors of the 1DmkIV with respect to the 5D2 were due to a weaker CFA to allow for better lowlight capabilities. But that's not a rule, that's a very specific camera.
Ok I think I'll drop this.
The colors in this video look equal to any full frame to me honestly.

But thank you for confirming it could happen.
