1. An image capture device with multiple color modes, the image capture device comprising:
a housing;
an optical element carried by the housing and configured to guide light within a field of view to an image sensor;
the image sensor carried by the housing and configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content; and
one or more physical processors carried by the housing and configured by machine-readable instructions to:
operate the image capture device in different color modes, the different color modes defining different processing of the visual content for image generation, the different color modes including a first color mode and a second color mode;
capture the visual content based on a set of capture parameters, the set of capture parameters including light sensitivity, exposure time, and color temperature;
during capture of the visual content, determine different multi-color correction matrices for the different color modes based on the set of capture parameters, a given multi-color correction matrix defining color transformation of an input color value to an output color value, wherein a first multi-color correction matrix is determined for the first color mode and a second multi-color correction matrix is determined for the second color mode, wherein determination of the different multi-color correction matrices for the different color modes during the capture of the visual content reduces amount of information and amount of processing needed to simulate different color modes on images; and
generate multiple sets of images from the captured visual content by applying multiple ones of the different multi-color correction matrices, wherein a first set of images is generated from the captured visual content by applying the first multi-color correction matrix and a second set of images is generated from the captured visual content by applying the second multi-color correction matrix.
