I shoot raw underwater and there color balance becomes a function of depth. My favorite general tool is white balance. And I know I should be using color calibration. I generally let the tool look at the whole picture and figure it out. Which seems to work well.
When that fails I plan to follow Boris Hajdukovic’s suggestion in this video:
Especially in edit 1.
If you really want to lose hope though in color, you could watch this video:
Where Aurélien Pierre points out that trying to get accurate colors is pointless since humans don’t pick colors that reflect reality, as in measured by a colorimeter I believe. Instead the color they choose as accurate is a function of the real color and their life experiences.
All that to say, and I don’t think I’m the original saying this, photography is art, make it look good to you.
Oh and use color calibration for bulk white balance and the tone equalizer for making up the rest🙃.
