Has Canon Outgrown M3 Nausea?

Oh hai! People are said to turn green before they're sick, when blood drains from faces to their vital organs. The color balance on my M3's images are similarly sick. I shoot Raw + Normal JPG and in Photoshop, I typically adjust the output channels for blue (+2 or +3) and green (-2 or -3) to help neutralize this, regardless of which file type I process.

My question is where in the EOS map is this happening? Is it just an M3 thing? Still present, but better in the M6? Are other Canons impacted outside of the M line? Is it inherent to all DIGIC 6 (and beyond) cameras?

It's an annoyance I'd prefer left behind on my next camera. I was much happier with skin tones and color balance on my Rebel XT, 50D, 5DII, M1 and M2, though the newer sensor does bring improvements elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for any insight!
