Hi, I'm having some issues using HSL Secondary and I'm unsure if it's a bug, a user issue, or maybe some of both. I am attempting to grade some cLog2 footage, which I am not too familiar with, and I am trying to adjust the hue of my skin tones using HSL. The issue is that whenever I use the eye dropper to select a pixel of skin, it seems to just pick pure Red, regardless of the skin tone. I've attached an image below, where I had clicked on a patch of skin on the hand, toggled on 'Color/Gray', and you can see the result. It doesn't seem to matter the general color either-- when using the eye dropper on the blue sky in my footage the HSL parameters still center themselves around Red on the spectrum.
I am running version 23.5.0
iMac Pro 2017

Radeon Pro Vega 64 16 GB
Ventura 13.3.1 (a)

Here's what the HSL sliders look like. It wasn't entirely accurate to say that they go to "pure Red", as I do see the sliders moving around a bit as my eyedropper moves. Still though, it just seems to grab a very narrow band of color that doesn't include the color of the original pixel I click on. In this example I had eye-dropped the side of his palm.

Try holding down the Control key while picking the color, that selects a larger area.
