Regarding 'color accuracy' and 'depth', and 16-bit being wonderful for portraits (as opposed to 14-bit full frame):
Fuji GFX (all current and historic models) has a 14-bit color Analog-to-Digital converter. The newer cameras interpolate that 14-bit data, and the marketing claim is 16-bit.
I have not seen an analysis of the new H2D2 in this regard. The sensor is the same, but Hasselblad may be using a different A2D pipeline and actually delivering 16-bit color depth.
In terms of accuracy, the better full frame cameras (e.g. Leica M11, Sony A7rV, Canon 5D) achieve a Sensitivity metamerism index (ISO 17321) of 84 (on a scale of 100, higher is better); source: DXOmark.
There are fewer measurements available for full frame cameras, one that I found was the Hasselblad X1D-50c at a SMI of 76.
Just as an aside, every so often I image the discussion in another decade or two, not of the difference between 14-bit and 16-bit color, but rather about how 34-bit color is “better” than 32-bit color… ;-)
