Use the color correction Effect filter for the capture device. Increase the saturation.

What do you mean with "capture device"? My monitor? My graphics card(like, nvidia settings?)

 

[SumDim]

You have a Scene. You have sources in it.

You have sources that are these types in your Scene:
- Video capture device
- Display capture device
- Window capture device
- Game capture device

Each of these capture devices have the ability to add effects. Just right click on the one you are using and use the Color Correction filter.

K, found the setting menu, will experiment tomorrow. But, the first test show the stauration setting is hard to hit just right, at it at the end still looks differently, better, sure, but still not native, not the same as what i actually see while gaming.

 

[SumDim]

There is no such thing as native when viewed from your eyes on your screen device.

For example, in a video game, native is the original image produced by the artist using her color space model calibrated on her screen. Unless you have the same exact screen hardware and same exact calibrations, you are not viewing the image in its native self. You are seeing a reference (gamut) of the color space being used on your screen device.

So when you tweak the colors, you are tweaking on YOUR calibrated screen device. You are changing the "general idea" of the color to your liking. You are now the artist and your viewers are going to see your gamut on their calibrated screen device.

Hope that makes sense.

Also, take a look at: OBS Studio: Color Space, Color Format, Color Range settings Guide. Test charts.

Yes, this is a very good guide Suslik. I read this every now and then to wrap my head around the subject.
