Color Tone & WB ( picture style )

Color Tone 

The Color Tone setting shifts colours (Hue) around the colour wheel to give a different tint.  Although the manual says that it only shifts skin tones between pink and yellow, it also affects other colours too.  You can use it to correct skin tones but be aware that it will also shift other colours too.

Standard 7,-2,0,-4.  Color Tone set to -4.

Standard 7,-2,0,4.  Color Tone set to 4.

Standard 7,-2,0,0. Color Tone set to 0.

WB
The White Balance helps to correct colour casts caused by different sources of lighting.  Sunlight is bluish, whilst tungsten light is reddish.  AWB automatically adjusts for different lighting conditions but occasionally it misses the mark, which can lead to either very pale (overblue) photos, or very saturated (overamber) photos.  Shooting Raw makes WB correction very easy since Digital Photo Professional has all the same WB presets found in the camera.

Standard 7,-2,0,0.  AWB.  The AWB has slightly overblued this shot causing it to look a bit pale.

Standard 7,-2,0,0.  By changing the WB to 'Cloudy' the colours look much more warmer and saturated.

You can use the WB control in Digital Photo Professional just like attaching a colour filter onto your lens.  In the White Balance Adjustment, select 'Color Temperature' and drag the slider to the right to make it warmer, or to the left to make it cooler.
