Maybe things were toned down when it moved to Disneyland. Or maybe years of decreptitude have simply dulled things down to a bland shadow of the former glory.
I think that in addition to natural color fading of the attraction itself over the years, there is also an issue of the color in the photos themselves not being accurate. Color film technology was still in its (relative) infancy in the early to mid sixties.

Even looking at the blue in Walt's sweater, I feel that the color represented is not natural.
