No.  I saw the same problem on RAW images and the non-bright setting. 
The saturation is at normal.

I know, like I said, I just thought it showed up better this way.  If 
you look at photo 3, that one is about exposed right, maybe a bit 
overexposed, and it still has the color problem.  It isn't as 
pronounced, but it is there.

I will take some new ones tomorrow and post.  Not a problem, in general. 
   I just got this camera from Pentax USA as a replacement for my first 
k10D.  Weather has not allowed a lot of outside work.  I did not want 
the flash to be a possible source of this color problem, so do not want 
to take any pictures inside right now.

It is just my opinion, but I should think that this should never happen,
regardless of the set-up.  Even in photo 3 and 10, which is somewhat 
normal (1/10s, f13, 400), the problem is there.  The first set of photos 
I noticed this did not have any strong white objects, a lot of green 
carpet and brown blanket chest.  It would help me if I knew if anyone 
else has a camera that acts this way.
