p.1 #4 · Scott's Leiter Nikon flexible color recipe for Z
Saw you post this one on FB or Reddit, can't remember which and meant to comment there, but I'm a fan of this one. I haven't started with the recipes yet, but now that I have the z5ii I'm looking forward to playing around.

Kinda jelly of the dedicated picture control button!

Made a slight tweak to pinks, added a file with more clarity/sharpness, and retweaked the LR preset for a better starting point. Consider redownloading if you already did 😁

I don't mess with PCs much. It "complicates" thinking about the shot for my wee brain - something I'd rather do after an image is taken. But, as long as there is raw version, it's fine to set a baseline jpg and maybe get a little prevision help in the VF, like switching to B&W sometimes simply to change the VF to B&W.
So, I did a sofa-based test this very Saulish cloudy day in his neighborhood. This PC is pretty cool. I like the results. I'll have to try it in other conditions.
As warned, note the color shift in yellow/orange in the painting lower right. The comparison also shows that Auto WB and AD-L can be unpleasant.
As expected, the last Raw and 'standard' Nikon PC are the most accurate color and shading-wise. The Leiter is moodier and 'thicker'.
