I think by "unnatural" the OP means a color that is highly saturated
(i.e. high in the "S" field with regard to HSV) beyond what one finds in
the majority of natural settings.  Our art tends toward cobalt and
cerulean, which are maybe a bit more harsh to his eye.  I have no beef
with it myself -- just hoping to elucidate.
