I've had my Pixel 3 for 4 years and never noticed a color rendition problem. I took a picture of a flower arrangement and because I had the flowers to compare with the photo, I noticed that a bright red rose showed up as a dull red. I used the EDIT Screen in an effort to adjust it. It made very little difference. As a matter of fact, only the BRIGHTNESS made a difference in the photo.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Thanks.
 
Have you looked at the photo on a different device like a PC monitor? Does it look dark there?
 
I think the Pixel camera tends to have some problems with reds in certain situations. I've noticed that sometimes if the main focus of the photo is bright red and the surrounding color is whitish or beige, that surrounding color will take on a much redder hue.

I'll try that. If the problem turns out to be the camera, can it be fixed?

I think it's a software issue, not a hardware issue. Send feedback to Google about it from within the Camera app's settings.
