overcolored

Excessively tinted image

Overcolored means having too much color—excessively saturated, vivid, or tinted.

A photograph might be overcolored when editing pushes hues past natural appearance: The sunset shot was overcolored to the point of looking artificial.

Figuratively, an overcolored account is exaggerated or embellished beyond accuracy.
