Blame the pesky LED's and cam sensors response.   It is NOT just a WB issue. We 
had a free energy audit and they replaced my low W incandescent with warm but 
lowish CRI  LED's in the overhead chandelier.  I just recently found some LED's 
that might be acceptable though low W LED's with that base have been hard to 
source.   Often the non very high CRI warm LED's have very poor R9 values (even 
negative) so not enough red and skin tones look sallow especially on a cam 
sensor.  (CRI usually includes R1-R8, but very high CRI LED's with good 
phosphors often have OK R9)  I have not  bothered to fix the lights inertia 
being what it is.

Warmish OK but Zombie look, not,  Mike
