I finally got to see this game over the weekend. Are the colors meant to be dull or does my friend have the color settings screwed up?

Everything was gray gray gray.

How much did you watch? If it was at night and he had the gama turned up (so he could see), it looks very gray. It also looks gray when it's raining. Otherwise he has his TV screwed up.

I watched a full night and day. It didn't rain at all. There were colors but they seemed faint. Other games look great on his system though. I'll play with the settings next time.

It may also depend on where you are on the map. Rockstar uses filters (similar to what a cinematographer uses in a film) in order to a) add an artistic feel to the visuals and b) mask any graphical imperfections. Try going to Algonquin (day or night) and you should see the colors pop. That said, this is supposed to be a city, so gray is the dominant color.
