@vintagesnaps, my workflow is to start with any exposure adjustments, followed by WB correction. My monitor is calibrated biweekly, and before an image is posted to the web, I double check how it looks on multiple devices. I'm not doubting your abilities to discern hues, or casts, I'm just not seeing it to the degree that you appear to be. However the more eyes that review the better because when working on these it's easy for me to get tunnel vision.
One comment on WB though, when I started the conversion from film to digital I assumed that WB was a static term, that deviating from matching the color temperature exactly to the scene was paramount. I've since learned that color temperature is dynamic, nothing more than a design tool to be used at the artist's discretion. Used creatively you can change the entire mood of an image, split the temperature of the highlights and shadows, even spot change the temperature within an image.
In my OP post I stated that these were "custom" as in my own design profiles. Later on I did say they are "variations" of a Portra, and Illford simulation, but didn't mean to imply they were supposed to look exactly like. My goal ultimately is to develop a unique Profile, that pleases me. A Profile that can be applied quickly across multiple images that will maintain a certain level of uniformity, but unlike Presets not affect the Develope module settings in Lr.
