Picture styles (http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/index.html) (not sure what the Nikon equvalent is) are amazing. Really give my pictures some punch. Just discovered them, apparently only DDP (for Canon) has it... it may sound sorta gimmicky, but I like 'em.
Example:
Here is a picture with a "Standard" picture style.

And with the "Landscape" picture style.

As you can see, the one with the "Landscape" picture style looks "poppier" and catches your eye more.
Just like WB, you should definitely be using the correct picture style for the scene.:up:
