Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

The colors are closer to the ones used in some scenes of Five Faces of Darkness, and The Rebirth. Still a bit off, maybe a similar care to Galvatron's purple: so hard to properly nail it.

I can still see the teal/light blue in those pics. They're not grayscale. The paint used for those animation cells is just very desaturated. This is just bizarre, because Takara has never made THIS kind of mistake before with coloring. At least with Galvatron, they're consistently off with the light lavender. This grayscale Kup didn't have to be at all!

Yah, I agree. Those scenes look dark or desaturated to begin with. You guys all know that's not the right colors for Kup regardless. His animation from the '86 movie and the Headmasters cartoon should be enough of a precedent. Digging up oddball scenes where his colors are off, desaturdated, or whatever, doesn't justify having a mainline toy have those incorrect colors as well.

The Targetmasters are cool, but both Hot Rod and Kup don't look like their G1 versions at all. Kup is the wrong colour and the face looks off. Hot Rod is a mess, big gap under the windshield where the engine is, no silver paint on the hubcaps or exhausts and that chest flame looks terrible. Is that a sticker? Jeez.
I was expecting so much more from Takara, hopefully the final products will be better.

I'm impressed that they created Targetmasters for Hot Rod and Kup. Wish they'd remove the Headmaster gimmick for the eventual Decepticon jets, but that's not going to happen.

I'll give you the gap under the windshield, but what do you mean by "no silver paint on the hubcaps or exhausts"? They've clearly been painted silver. The flame is actually translucent like the headlights, which I'm not fond of, especially the weird crackle effect, but some people here seem to like it.
And for those that can't see the difference between Kup at his darkest on the cartoon and the figure which is very much a gray figure, I put this together:

There's gonna be some Headmasters Seekers?
Btw, on Cha's colors, I have a sinking feeling it just might be the camera shot that's causing the confusion.
There is is phenomena when the color on a camera/screen is slightly different from the real stuff.
Case in point G1 Ultra Magnus. In the catalogs and screen, he comes out as dark blue ish yet the real item he is royal bluish kinda green unlike the MP UM which is just as blue as the images.
I might be wrong as I am just positing a theory.
