Hi Alex,

on my calibrated monitor Nikon's picture has strong green and yellow tints.

Best regards,

Same on my calibrated monitor.  I'd not want to set the Oly to match the pic on the right.  But, I do find Oly's skin tones too warm.  I did a white balance adjustment on my Oly and I turn down saturation to minus 1, then I'm satisfied with the skin tones.

I read all the raves about Oly's amazing colors before buying one, and discovered that "amazing" means highly saturated, overly warm and high contrast.  That also means inaccurate, but often pleasing colors.
