To prevent confusion:
- assumed_gamma scene setting should be set to 1.
- Display_Gamma ini file setting should match your display's gamma (2.2 
is a good solid guess; if using POV-Ray 3.7, you should be fine without 
explicitly specifying this setting).
- File_Gamma ini file setting should be left alone (in POV-Ray 3.6 it 
doesn't exist, while in POV-Ray 3.7 the default is usually the best choice).

I actually do like the colors. While they're unrealistic (and even 
though in my renders I usually strive for photorealism), it gives the 
image some surrealistic touch.

Rule of thumb: If using focal blur, set aperture size to whatever 
POV-Ray units would match a size of somewhere around 1 cm (somewhere 
between the size of a human's pupil and the apparent size of a camera's 
aperture as seen through the lens). Significantly higher values will 
make your scene look like a miniature.
