@Kissie: Please can you try opening the Camera app, tapping the cog in the top left, and enabling 'Scene optimiser', as this automatically makes your photos look brighter and more vivid. Now, tap the back button, select the magic wand symbol in the top right, and explore the filter options here to see if you can find one that helps to improve the colour accuracy in your photos.
@Kissie: If you have Photo mode enabled, and 'Scene optimiser' is not visible in the Camera settings when you tap the cog symbol, then the feature is not available on your device. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused. If you could let me know how you get on with the filtered shots, as well as which filters you applied to get the results you wanted, then that would be great 
Hello again, the photo on the left is taken with my phone. No filter. On the right taken with my husband's Samsung. No filter.
I will hopefully try later with filters.

Hi Kissie: I hope this helps:
At first, I was changing the settings on my camera app. Didn't work. Even when I looked at an object through the camera, my reds/oranges were muddy and muted. Greens were blue/greener than what I was seeing when looking at yellow-green leaves. Aquas were not being captured, and royal blues looked like navy.
I was upset because I'd just gotten my phone hoping that technology has evolved since I'd gotten my last phone about 7 years ago.
I learned that you could do some color editing by selecting the image and tapping the "edit" symbol (The pencil). But, I wanted to see the color before I even took the pic. WTF??
So yes, I am the nerd that will do all the online research to figure out what to do. Well, nothing helped, YouTube included.
So, I did some button pushing on my phone.
Here's where it gets great:
** PHONE SETTINGS ** DISPLAY **!!
So, not "Camera Settings". Phone Settings: Display.
There's lots of things you can adjust. One video suggested I use "Normal" mode vs "Vivid" mode, but I prefer "vivid", so I left that setting. Turned OFF "Adaptive brightness" and "Eye Comfort Shield".
Then go to "SCREEN MODE".
That's where you can select your preferred "white balance".
Then go to
ADVANCED SETTINGS. There you can further adjust your white balance from "cool" (blues) to "warm" (yellows).
Then, while you're in "Display" you'll come to options at the bottom of the page, "Side button" "language" and the one you want: "VISION ENHANCEMENTS".
Click on that.
Go to "Color Correction" (I turned automatic color correction OFF).
Options:
* DEUTAN (Green-red)
** PROTAN: (red-green)
*** TRITAN (blue-yellow)
**** Grayscale
I have mine set to the first one: Deutan.
If you go to "Color Filter" you can adjust each color individually, but that pertains to how your screen is viewed, not what the camera sees. I turned my color filter "OFF".
And that's what I did.
Now, my camera sees what I see, and I CAN SEE!! My reds have depth and are bright as ripe strawberries. My greens look green, and my aquas aqua. My blues have richness, depth, and shades. My purples are purple as plums.
I know that was the long answer, but I really hope it works for you!!
