Dark Skintones Rendering As Red

I've noticed the same thing, I'm pretty sure it's down to a sub-par implementation of subsurface scattering in Legendary Edition.

Looks like the Kotaku reviewer also had this issue: https://kotaku.com/mass-effect-legendary-edition-makes-the-first-game-requ-1846899558

It’s kind of disappointing, I hope it gets fixed because it makes me feel weird that the lighter skin tones seem to render well and meanwhile my Shep is rocking the Wrex red glow in a lot of cutscenes ☹️

You should be able to alter the settings of 'HDR Game Mode' to more closely match the settings of the TV mode that does not have the issue.

Thanks.

Adjusting the brightness and contrast via the game’s Graphics Options helped somewhat, but even then Shep is still pretty red in some cutscenes. I’m hesitant to  make any more adjustments because otherwise the screen isn’t bright enough for me to see things properly.

The scene with Jenkins at the start had the same issue on both my Series X and my PC, it's the game- I'd have to replay the scene in the original game and the issue might go away in the other two games but it is rather disappointing that you just see these ugly red hues breaking immersion.

You can see the difference in hue across her face. (Took it while replicating original Shepard). You watch the Jenkins scene with the doctor and it's enough to make you want to close your eyes.
