Okay. I just showed this amazing video to my wife. She says the video guy almost certainly used some kinda fancy computerized colorizing technique to change the colors and make them more varied. Because the colors are not natural, she said. I chuckled and asked her how on earth somebody could do that? What kind of crazy-ass computer program does that without destroying the sharpness and integrity of the video? She went on and on - yada yada yada. I reminded her that she grew up in New England which is a long friggin' way from Utah. She still is not convinced. For the record, she has zero experience in videography and very little experience with anything that involves electricity.

I believe it's a completely natural video.
Thanks everybody.
It's a valid point, I often get asked how much "saturation" I put into the clip. Of course, most of us will try to optimize the footage to some degree. I mean basically, isn't cutting a clip in itself some form of editing?
So yes, it's detailed a bit, and I try my best not to go over the top to the "fictional" realm, but in anticipation of feedback, sometimes I grab a shot of the RAW footage, or at least a look at the cached version as it came back to my tablet.
Here it is, and sure, there are some minor differences, but just for comparison, here it is straight from the camera:
