The camera has a 715nm filter and I set a custom white balance on a patch of evenly lit grass. That typically gives me white foliage and a brown/gold sky. Skin tones seem to go to an almost translucent porcelain like appearance. As far as the light blue - I really can't explain it. Other than the custom white balance, nothing was done to influence hue.
