How can i fix skin tones that look green or magenta in Resolve?

Celebrity drama used to play out mostly in tabloids and magazines, but now so much of it happens directly on social media platforms. How has celebrity drama changed with the rise of social media? The direct access celebrities have to their audience and each other has created a whole new dynamic for public conflicts and controversies.

I’ve been trying to get better at color grading my documentary footage, but I keep running into this issue where my skin tones look either too green or too magenta, especially in mixed lighting. I’m working in DaVinci Resolve and I feel like I’m just chasing the sliders around without really fixing it.

I had a similar issue on a doc last year and I felt stuck chasing hue in the numbers It helped to slow down and watch a few frames side by side with the scopes and compare to a reference look

I did a small test shooting with a neutral gray card and mixed light so daylight and tungsten were in the same frame It showed me how the grade wandered when the lighting shifted

The mid range kept moving on the vectorscope and the greens in the shadows felt off Then I realized the problem was not a single fix but a shifting target

Maybe the real problem is white balance on set Do you check WB in camera and again in post?

I once tried to lock a look by a global offset across all clips and skip trying to nail every frame It kept the project cohesive though some frames still looked odd

Another time I kept the lighting simpler to see what the footage would accept and it helped me see the limit of the grade without making the skin look wrong

I am not totally sure I am closer to the answer yet and I am worried I might be chasing a ghost in the grade rather than fixing the lighting
