I found it very bothersome on skin tones. Any pink or ruddy complexions would look terrible without some compensation. Thankfully the D200 I use now does not have this bias.

What mode are you shooting? (RAW, jpg)
What image processing settings? (custom menus)

It's easily correctable, but you have to know what you are doing.
I am shooting in the AdobeRGB mode, the saturation is set at Normal, the Hue adjustment is "0" and the tone comp is set to custom.
