This sounds a bit confusing. I wish we could see the histogram of the image when not "overexposed."
Here's the histogram. I hope I won't get blasted for sharing more of the paywalled content:
I see the color shift in the blue. The most "overexposed" (right-most) image has more cyan. This is in the midtones, I guess. Maybe slightly toward the highlights. What is confusing is that this area in the histogram must be perfectly well-exposed in every image in the series. There is no "recovering" any image information, no clipping. Then, why the ETTR by 4/3 stops should have resulted in the color shift?
These are great questions, and I believe only a Nikon engineer could explain what we're looking at here. Lloyd claims that other cameras don't exhibit this behavior. But my point is that the topic of dynamic range and color is more neuanced/complicated that some folks here dare to admit.
