The colour temp is the same for both the TV and the HMDI input. It’s the same on the Virgin Media V6 box and the reds are red.
Even on the playback of the YouTube clip the reds are orange on the Humax. Red on the TV’s YouTube app, the VMV6 and my media player (Zidoo Z9X).
I’ve ordered another Aura and a Freesat recorder of another make to compare.
Occam’s razor would suggest that the Aura is at fault.

It’s the greyscale images you need to look at.
“The colour temp is the same for both the TV and the HMDI input. It’s the same on the Virgin Media V6 box and the reds are red.”
And that may be the issue. Don’t just assume that the colour will be the same for all devices because the settings are the same. That’s why your TV has the option to apply specific settings to each input. Try changing the colour temperature (and hue if it’s there) on the Humax hdmi input to something cooler.
My TV, when comparing the Humax to the “live” TV via the inbuilt tuner definitely shows a warmer image live but I never watch live so I can’t be bothered to change it.
Although you may have a faulty box, my 15 years of experience as an installer have shown me that 99% of these type of issues are not caused by faulty devices.
Cheers for the input!
I’ll see what happens when I install the new kit tomorrow.
Or you could save yourself the hassle by changing a few options on your TV.
Believe me I have tried (almost full time for a week). This isn’t my first rodeo when it comes to AV equipment.
This is definitely more than just a few options on the TV.
But thanks anyway.
Have you tried connecting the Humax to another TV? You won’t need to have an aerial connected to just view the home page and compare colours.
Also, are there any settings within the Android menu (not the Humax colour settings) related to “video colour space” or “hdmi deep colour” that you can tinker with? (these may not be accessible if the box is using a locked down version of Android.)

Sorry for the links. It was the easiest thing to do.

Unretouched small section of high res phone photograph BBC1-HD.
Source Aura BBC1-HD. TV 4K LGC9 – OLED
Eventually got to try it on another TV. Reds were still off even after tinkering.
The Aura is going back and with either be replaced by another Aura or a 5000T. Both of them arrive tomorrow. Would prefer the former but the latter will do.
Thanks for all the input.
Cheers!

Simple I used a photo editor to cut a small chunk out of a large image. I used photoshop but the built in Windows 10 one should be able to do it.

But a Model T that works correctly will get you there as well. And Ferrari’s are over rated and break down a hell of a lot. (had one in my late 20’s and they are pants!)
