For the cameras that don't get the color the way you like, have you
experimented with the camera profiles? Or try creating one?
This was an interesting article on using a Linear profile.
https://trentsizemore.com/blog/using-a-linear-camera-calibration-profile/
Also explains how to create a profile using the DNG Profile Editor.
How would using a linear profile help/hurt the need for Highlight/Shadow at
100%?
The linear profile was suggested on FM for someone with over saturated colors.
