My pictures in the Samsung Gallery app are a lot duller than when I took them or where I downloaded them. It's strange because when I minimize the Gallery app, you can see it revert to the richer color version of the photo. I don't get it? So when I take photos with my camera the preview of it never looks good because it previews from Gallery. It's kinda greyish looking and not as vibrant. How do I resolve this?
Why do my pictures look dull on my Samsung Galaxy S5?

Make sure the conditions under which you're shooting the pictures maximize the color saturation. If you overexpose, you'll get washed-out pictures.
The question is whether it's the display that's washed out or the pictures themselves. Copy a "greyish" picture to your PC and look at it. Is it still "greyish"? Then you're overexposing. If not, it's the way you have the display set in the S5. In Settings/Device/Display, look for Screen mode and adjust that so you get more vibrant color.
