Contrast is one of those things that seem like they should always be a good thing but isn't necessarily. Too much contrast is one of those things that can really suck the realism out of a scene. It also has the paradoxical effect of reducing the appearance of fine texture. Not what you might expect.
Of course when you reduce contrast all of your colours will become weak and pale. You can counter this by increasing the contrast. Don't be afraid of this control. At first you will probably be very reluctant to alter it much but don't be afraid to do whatever adjustment is necessary to match the vision in your head.
If you don't have a picture of what you want to achieve you probably won't accomplish much. But that sounds like another post...
