Color Grading option - what do you like best

So I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on the best color grading option now?

I always used to use Blockbuster, and I would use super for the caves to make it just a tad bit easier to see.

Ever since the new update the lighting is just way off and looks like crap. Blockbuster doesn't really look the same anymore. I find myself changing the color grading option depending on the time of day which is rather annoying.

Day time just seems very dark now whereas before it was super bright.

I think for the short while I have played I have been using modern and still super for the caves what do y'all use, when, and why?

Also what is your opinion of the most realistic color grading option?

I was playing on Blockbuster the most time. It's a bit more saturated than Original, but still not as colorful as Modern. And the best part is: it improves your nightvision. There are other options that are even better for nightvision, I think it was Super, but it colored the caves pretty weirdly, with red shadows and stuff for example, so I always went back to Blockbuster.
I did not compare it very much after Vs1.0 yet, seemed to me the color grading options got changed a bit.

During the day, I'm undecided between Original and Epic and I kind of bounce between those two with a few settings changed here or there while I experiment. For the night and cave exploration, I go with various options like Super, Texas, or others, but then I get frustrated at having to "alter reality" because The Forest isn't set up for better consistency in that department. I'm probably going to wait a week or two before I actually get into the game again, pretty disappointed with the current status.

Used to do the exact same as you, OP, but I haven't even had the chance to really play yet so I haven't seen this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Blockbuster, not happy about that :\

Nice shots, you might want to add the color grading name to the picture's title.

I think I am still gonna stick to Blockbuster. Might change in the future tho.

Btw, I realized B5310 makes everything gray except red tones. Looks really sick when you are visiting your Hannibal-Lector-like collection of Effigies. ;)

There is site with name of " the forest map" that tells you every color grading with day and night time but what I don't get it in caves some of the colors are really really dark, like modern. So m131 is only acceptable for the moment.
