Colorized #1

Yes, I think I see the problem. If you make his face less red, and presumably "natural" -- at the half-way point between R and Y on the Hue Clock, it actually takes on an unnatural brown/beige color. Interesting phenomenon...

Maybe decreasing the red with some selective dodging helps?

Hi
Like ArtI found the skin colour too red. I find your revised one better. But it still looks a little red for my eyes on an iPad. It's interesting as I am sure you have checked the hue clock. I wonder how it would work if the wall was less green

Getting close to a final...

Thoughts?

Looks good!

(Maybe a little more contrast?)

I too measured, in Lab, the skin tone, and find it too red in last image. Too little yellow or too much red/magenta. Close inspection shows blotchy; blur may help blend pixel tones together.

I agree the Bkgd color green can fool our eyes so skin color may be misread via eyes....thus I'd temporarily make Bkgd gray, color correct skin (do it by the numbers as well as your eye), then return Bkgd to less saturated green.
