Middle ground between full realism and full style

In the planning stages of a game I'm working on, I struggled with trying to find a good style for it. I want it to be realistic, but not TOO realistic. I want to find a middle ground between Complete stylization and complete style. Anybody have any ideas? I can't think of how to do this, other than through the use of colors. Does anyone know a good midpoint between style and realism that still looks good?

Take any art style, ask 100 people if it looks good and you will have a 100 different answers. Choose a style which you like, other people will share your opinion, many not, regardless what you do.

Well,there are many games out which are a blend between realistic and stylized art nowadays. Best to research in newer titles like Overwatch or Witness and try to find titles with an art style which come close to your vision.
