Could this not be due to the color selection?

Hello.........?????


I may have misunderstood you here, are you saying that the image you posted looks cartoony? If so, can you provide an example of what you consider to be dull and faded.

You can add a Hue & Saturation adjustment layer and lower it's saturation.

You could add a texture, bevel and emboss, and a gradient. Maybe some reflections in the windows...........?????
