Telugu turmeric and white: clean whites, fresh yellows
Brighter and more neutral than the other South Indian looks, so the white-and-red pelli saree stays white and turmeric stays a clean yellow.
One of the six looks made for Indian weddings, region by region. You choose it per project; CullTone never picks it from the people in the frame.

Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Telugu turmeric & white at full strength, rendered from the same file.

When we'd reach for it
Telugu Hindu weddings in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and abroad, daytime ceremonies and pasupu.
When we wouldn't
Night receptions under warm lights, where neutral whites fight the mood of the room.
The recipe
These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.
Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
