David Malin's argument is that per his research into star colours he found that star colours are pastel shades not deep saturated colours.
Using that then as a reference you can then use it as a guide in determing overall colour of the other objects in the image.
Heavy colour saturation is usually something we all go through when doing processing. All that digital power to manipulate the colour is irrestible!
It has its place to emphasis features otherwise not seen like in narrowband.
But generally speaking, I have found that over the years I tend to pull back the colour compared to how I used to process and its generally better received.
So next time you reach for that saturation slider - try restraining yourself and instead of slamming it to 20 - relax, pullback a tad and slide it maybe to 5 or 8 instead!!
Its always a good policy to leave an image until the next day before you post it and see if you still like it. You can be too "in" an image to notice what garish wreckage you have created! If it passes the next day test then you are probably close to the money.
All good fun.
