What digital camera produces the best color in photos?

I don't know any of the technical terms for photography (and don't really care to learn), but I need some suggestions on a camera to get the best colors in my pictures. I'm looking to buy a compact digital camera (something that I can slide in my purse) but I'm willing to spend anywhere between $250-$1000.By "best colors" I mean that I want everything to look exactly the way it does in real life. Especially the sky. I have a Canon Powershot S100 that the sky always seems to look washed out in. On a recent vacation, I switched to using my iPhone for any pictures of the beach, sunsets, etc. So you could actually see the colors in the sky. I'm not sure if that's considered "color contrast" or not? Hopefully that all makes sense and someone can suggest the best camera for me? Thanks!

Added (1). A recent answer just indicated that what I'm looking for can't happen. I realize that it won't look exactly like what I see in person, but I want the camera that will do it the closest. My iPhone camera does a pretty good job of this (better than my Canon Powershot) so I know it's possible to varying degrees.

Sorry, but it can't happen.

Our eyes and brains can handle a vast difference in light intensity and still make sense of it all (such as properly seeing a bright sunny sky as well as a dark forest below), but cameras can't do that, they simply don't have that sort of range - not even expensive cameras.

There are ways of overcoming this problem, but they require learning and effort.

You say you're not interested in learning (which is fine, not everybody can be good at everything), but that does mean that you'll always be at the mercy of a little camera and its decisions.

Put in on Auto and click. If conditions are ideal, you'll get fine looking shots. If conditions are NOT ideal, your camera can't cope.

It is totally your choice what is more important to you - having to make the effort or accepting your camera's results as is.

Picture quality, including color, depends on user skill. If you know what you're doing, you should get the same picture no matter what camera you use. You won't get exactly what you see however. Technological limitations will make sure the eye would always remain superior in the end.

Since you already found out that you get better pictures with your phone than with your camera, you could ditch the camera already and not be bothered about one ever again.
