Virtual CAM - causes RED FACE

In YOuTube videos of Livestreams hosted in StreamYard, where I've used Virtual Cam... I've noticed that the image in OBS(left image below) output from the built-in Virtual Cam plugin makes my face RED (center image below) . It looks like there is a bug within OBSs internal color conversion to the UVYV format used by Virtual Cam.

You can see, wearing a red shirt, you can see that the RED channel is WAY TOO SATURATED. To get the image to look "better" when output from OBS, I've had to create a LUT, applying it as a filter, to reduce the RED channel (right image below).

Has any one else run into the issue. If so, what was your work-around?

Thanks

Can anyone please post a LUT or LUT pack for red reduction, like referenced upthread?

This "OBS virtual camera inexplicably adds too much red/pink" problem seems to continue to exist in my testing. Thanks in advance.

It is odd that live previews of OBS Virtual Camera in other apps look far too red (Quicktime, etc.) like in the OP (even while OBS preview pane looks normal). However, playing back recordings from other apps, that looked "too red" while "live", can playback looking ok depending on the player (not in all players).

I wonder if a LUT will throw off the colors in places where they looked "correct" on playback previously. In any case, I'm willing to test out red-reduction LUTs, if anyone is able to upload or link to free ones.
