Question regarding exposing with false colors on 6k pro. Which colors should be used (pink,gray,green?) for indoor and outdoor scenes with 400 ISO with BRAW or ProRes on the caucasian skin?

Pink usually or light grey should be fine.

I can only agree with this
and by recording in BRAW, a slight correction of the exposure
is still possible afterwards without any problems.

I find that a Caucasian face that’s mostly green with a tiny bit of pink is a good place to be. Drama / storytelling reasons aside.

On darker skin I usually am happy with all green.
