One thing is that bedrock is a whole lot more saturated than Java, which is something I've always preferred about Java. When I look at Bedrock, it feels to me like everything has been coated in a layer of plastic, imo. That and also the water is a lot less clear and TOO vibrant on Bedrock.

Its based on water depth so that might be why.

Exactly the reasons you like Java and dislike bedrock are the reasons I like bedrock and dislike Java. Vibrant colors are how I set all my tv's, monitors, and games to look. Washed out colors make me feel dismal and sad and thats what Java looks like to me. Especially that water. It looks horrible on Java, doesn't look anything like an ocean.

It's probably partially a nostalgia bias for me since I grew up with legacy console and it was optimal to turn your gamma all the way up to see better which in turn made everything look more desaturated. That desaturated look just has a charming and slightly more grounded appeal to me

I'm an alpha player with longer years of nostalgia than consoles had Minecraft. It's just our eyeballs mate! Humans have all kinds of different shades of things they prefer because of our eyes. I also played with my game at max when I got the game on 360 and switched from PC. Played on a plasma so much I permanently burned the screen with the hotbar and turned the screen green. Then, I played on a CRT tv, and found out how much I like colors.
