Affinity Photo uses LibRaw, so that's another option but...

Like my Custom sunlit card image, very pleasing colors!

... I don't know if it's using the WB matrix in the X3F metadata − I don't have any FS shots sans Custom WB to test.

Edit: it does by default but can be overridden by selecting a classic Kelvin/Tint WB tool.

Oh. A bit global, but better than nothing, I guess.

But I've come full circle, I think that I prefer that palette over my 099 (550nm), digital photography really is nothing without the software!

Agreed!

N.B. LibRaw does no highlight reconstruction of Foveon RAW so 'overexposure' is a big no no!

I've never been a fan of "highlight re-construction" anyway. If desired stuff (e.g. clouds) is too bright in a converted but un-adjusted image, it's a candidate for the trash, IMO.

We should remember the "S-curve" in DPR's dynamic range graphs - where the curve at the top means that highlights may not be "blown" but they certainly can have less contrast than desired.
