The cool tone in the face in the first image could be avoided by using Shade rather than AWB I suspect, as Baldy alluded to
Yes indeedy. The Canon AWB does unkind things to skin tones in shade, but the Shade setting works very well. Oddly, the shade setting does not create perfectly neutral whites but it does wonders for faces. Canon clearly knows something about how their sensors respond that can't be determined simply by shooting a white card.

Fwiw, I was at a Sushi joint for lunch yesterday with multi-colored lights hanging from the ceiling. I decided to crank the ISO to 3200 and fire a shot. The camera has some noise reduction settings that I didn't take the time to fiddle with, so this is straight from the camera on default settings, medium jpeg.
