Please describe the Colours/WB on here as you see it.

Only if you have a Hardware Calibrated Monitor.

Note: He was more Red, She was more Yellow. lol.

Just trying to make sure I see as I should :thinking:
 
She has a fairly "normal" flesh colour . He has a more ruddy complexion, nothing objectionable though. Overall balance looks OK maybe slightly cool if anything.Although I wouldn't want his shirt to go any warmer, Blond hair neutral.

Viewed on iMac calibrated with eye-1 Display and CEDP software, if that's any help
 
looks way too red to me, the girls skin is 'ok', but still too red

hope you don't mind but I referenced the skin colour to a skin tone test swatch, as i'm sure you can see the top image is a lot more neutral compared to the bottom

@ Chappers: just out of interest how are you getting on with your imac screen? what's your delta E? I was thinking of investing in an imac, but i've heard horror stories about colour accuracy, my current monitor is giving me great results- delta E maximum of 0.57, 120cd- just wondered how far off this the imac is.

Have had the iMac for about 18 months. Brightness set to 130cd/m2. delta E max is 0.63 but that is only on one step. Others range from 0.38 to 0.50.

CEDP will calibrate the brightness automatically is you select iMac in the set up options. Screen is far to bright straight out of the box ( 130 cd/m2 is equivalent to brightness =50%.) Watch out for Lion as CEDP is not yet supported under Lion at the moment.
 
TBH unless we see what the couple actually look like I can't tell you if it looks too red however the guy does look a bit red on my monitor

I argree the guy is very slightly redder but not overly so, the colours are fairly natural for skin tones, but as someone else said without seeing the couple we can't compare them.
 
Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful.

He is a lot more red than her. Almost Alcoholic looking ;)
She is blonde with more Pale Yellowish Skin.

Heres one which is colour corrected using ColorChecker Passport.
