The harsh saturation and rough chiptunes are soulful.

Guess it just doesn't jive with you, I enjoyed it just fine.

It really is a mess and a blatant SOTN derivative, but I still think it's quite fun for what it is. It has a rough and gritty sound to its music, and the strongly saturated colors makes me think of Suspiria, together, qualities like these makes it so very distinct and memorable.

The colors aren't washed out, they're highly saturated, and you should play it with those colors, because it's part of what makes the game interesting.
I like the visual a lot, because the bright colors and the stark contrast really makes it feel like old Giallo films such as Suspiria. It also makes you appreciate how Aria looks different from it.

Honestly, I think Harmony Of Dissonance was the best looking GBAvania game.

I think this game got an unfair amount of flak when compared to the other GBA games. I liked the atmosphere of HoD, the backgrounds were colorful in a way that was really eerie. In retrospect its design comes off sharper than CotM and AoS, which both had muddier backgrounds and music. For that matter, do people still bitch about HoD's soundtrack?
