First time with color for Sony a6000

Some people argue that Sony is crap with color of the generated jpg. That is the reason most of users shoot RAW and not trusting at all in the picture styles by Sony. Well, also this time I have to disagree with the mass.

I think Sony can produce some great result if you know how to use it. In fact I am really satisfied with the images produced yesterday. After doing some research, I decided to set my camera to the autumn leaves style. I think that is how I can mimic better that aesthetic that I feel close to my vision, with the sky that results not that dark, and vibrant warm colors. To be honest I made an error by setting the saturation to + 1, a thing that made me correct the images in post production, but the error is visible yet in the first images below. I set the contrast and the sharpness to -1 because I want a result more organic and close to film.

As you know I work all the time shooting JPG only and I am not going to change my workflow with Sony. I have already seen how black and white results great with Sony but now I consider myself satisfied also photographing in color. Yesterday the entire purpose was testing the camera for color photography and these are the results:
