Hey, I just wanted to bump this and encourage you, or the others who responded, to do the triple post you described. I'd love to see it, as I've got a friend with a very similar problem and we've basically argued the entire time I've known him about what color things are, particularly with greys, browns, and light greens and blues. I'd love to see something adjusted from your perspective.

That said, sometimes people HAVE orange faces and they just don't like to admit it when they see their photographs. Takes some tricky editing to de-fake tan someone....
