Your colouring didn't seem so bad once I'd lightened yellow and orange. Most of what I did was an attempt to remove the mushiness, especially with the yellow/green tint. I was tempted to go overboard with a glowing purple and blue background tint, but as you said, it comes down to personal preferences. The banding is due to the jpeg download being pushed and pulled.
But I still think the orange/yellow/green benefited from some lightening. Perhaps it's a difference between our screens' brightness, or perhaps I just grew an aversion to sunset skies looking like luminous mustard.
