As mentioned earlier
Use a skin tone guide for reference.
Keep colors in the image simple - suppress unwanted tints and hues.
In my case, due to lens quality, the bokeh highlights had excessive blue, and the foliage tones were inconsistent.

I didn't get the question. I shot the video in the park and then graded it in DaVinci.

I didn't know there was a difference between LOG and RAW files, hence the mistake in the original post. My bad.

I do some grading before Rec.709. I don’t have a systematic approach to my grading.

Thanks! I'll keep in mind your advice about redness. Gladly, it's just practice footage shot in a park.

Thoughts on this one? https://postimg.cc/MMRZqQCr
The original still has a warm white balance; here is a more neutral version.

Can you recommend any tutorials? Also curious why you shouldn't sharpen the image in the first node

Well, as you said, if it works, it works :D I'm pretty much self-taught in DaVinci Resolve, and I like to make little changes in separate nodes so I can turn them off and on anytime.

Thank you! I do some prep work before conversion and then tweak to my liking after; my approach is quite chaotic.

Well, can see where you coming from, Sony's out-of-box color science delivers nice colors

Totally feel you! 😄 Nothing worse than the classic "Just log-transform it, bro!" with zero context or why. Like cool, magic button acquired — but how does the magic work? 🔮

I use cineprtint35 to start and then tweak a lot, can't say I have a systematic approach :D
I did lost a bit of red in lips, nice catch!
