Kyle on my calibrated good monitor here, Trillian's face looks natural to
me as shown.
I think that 'correct' WB is subjective here and of course you have the
window light then multiple reflecting colour surfaces throughout.
It looks pretty complex actually when you follow the decorative strip at
window sill level across the frame. Some flash fill or (silver?) reflector
in there too out of sight?


Cheers
