Better Gear Coloring, is it confirmed?

I can understand what you mean, undersaturation can make a game feel dull or lifeless. But I feel XIV has a good range of color for its visual style. The armor in the preview site looks a little too bright and cheery to be used for a realistically styled RPG. I like the natural tones on the current armor. It looks like they where dyed from natural resources instead of chrysoiodine, pararosaniline, and RED 122 (side note, avoid eating RED 122).

In the current game, armor can a much different appearance based on the lighting. Looking at these pictures, it appears there's just a bright white light somewhere...something we don't have anywhere in Eorzea. I'm guessing they're just images made to show the classes, and that the ingame stuff will look better.

You're probably right.
Indoors will probably look more vibrant while out in the open will look a bit more dimmed.
