Very interesting things going on with the hue and saturation in this image:
Interesting challenge! here’s my attempt (disclaimer: done on a crappy laptop screen – calibrated and profiled, but still crappy)

I’ll take a completely sideways look at the image here.

Side note: @CarVac am I missing an icon? The parameter reset buttons seem to be [].

No, Filmulator is missing icons entirely. I used [] in lieu of making an icon.

I don’t mind some orange getting through.
To me reconstructing the highlight by luminance recovery works best in this case.
Possibly color constancy - Color constancy - Wikipedia
Your eyes may have adapted out some direct reflections of sunlight only visible with certain surface angles. A polarizer filter in the field might help to prevent the camera from recording this - reflections cut out by polarizers are one of those cases where no amount of postprocessing can compare with having the proper filter on the lens.
My edit. Reading the OP say that there appeared to be no oranges, I decided to mitigate the orange tint through lots of RT color regions processing, as well as channel mixing. I also tried to keep hitting full red 255 to be as smooth gentle as possible, to prevent a digital artifact color edge effect.
