Looks like we have the same problem...
I shot a couple of rolls of Kodak Royal Gold outside last weekend,
simple things of my kids and my trees in the backyard etc. Overall I
was pleased at how things looked considering it was such a dull day, but
some of the skin tones were terrible. The strange thing is, my daughter
looked great, but my son and son-in-law were way too saturated and way
too red.
It's a new one on me - Shooting flash fill outside on a gray day and
ending up too warm... Hey, the trees looked wonderful though. The ++red
made them a very dark green.
:-)
So, I too am hoping the list has some suggestions on this. I'd love to
find a film that doesn't blow the colors out so far, especially skin
tones, and doesn't need to be kept in the fridge. Maybe one of the more
"blueish" types and a warming filter?
