Agree .....I have had the same experience with the D800E . Trying to get a RED baseball uniform to look realistic is a challenge for example ..even with HSL adjustments .>Yes ....I call the D800 in LR4 ..the “Wow” setting

I work on some fixes in the HSL panel.
I normally also use ColorChecker Passport profiles and was happy. Not for the D800 though.
Have you tried Camera Standard/Neutral/Portrait?Still sometime struggle with LR 4 colors for the D800. I use Adobe Standard and process 2012.
Did anybody try to change the color calibration data?
The one thing I find that is a real struggle with the D800 is what I think is color separation in yellows/greens. I think that once I can get a truly consistent profile, that it will be much better. It seems at 100% that the goods are there... but getting it all sorted is tough.
I also find that the DR is so wide that most files take (in LR 4) a negative move on blacks, but also a substantial bump to the positive on the shadows... then some monkeying with whites and shadows as well.
The metering behaviour is a good thing IMO, but it takes some getting used to. (I'm on a D7000, but it's a cut down D800 so the behaviour's similar)....and as this wasn't enough, the matrix-metering also give me some sorts of problems that I don't remember from the D700, it sort of meters the sky(perhaps mostly when you are pointing it a bit upwards) and forget to meter the ground, result: fine clouds but way too dark ground and subject...
or perhaps my mood just is in a bad shape these days.

I might be teaching you to suck eggs, but in case anyone doesn't know how Nikon's metering is set up:Found it: Nikon D800 Review: Digital Photography Review
Check out the "AF Point and Metering" Section... the AF point's position seems to really impact how the camera meters the scene.
