Does Nikon cameras shoot cooler tones than canon?

It might sound strange but I feel canon cameras shoots warmer skin tones. I have read also some articles, some say canon is warmer others say Nikon is. Which is true? Are Nikon more neautral and cooler than canon cameras? I love to work with Warner colors. If I do shoot with Nikon is it possible to edit the photos afterwards in warmer skin tones?

I think canon would be better.

I don't think it's strange. Even with film cameras, I saw that subtle difference when it came to the electronic models. With the earlier manual types, they were all the same. With later autoeverything models, I noticed that Nikon would underexpose just a tad compared to Pentax. Luckily now with digital, you can always manipulate the final look of your photo to your own taste.

You are correct. Since the late 80s, from what I can remember, professionals have noted that Canon has warmer skin tones while Nikon was on the cool side of the color spectrum.

Can you change or "fix" the color cast? Short answer is yes with RAW files and maybe with JPEGs.

The long answer:
It is a fairly easy task to adjust the color balance in post regardless of what the sensor or lens may do to the color rendition. First, it should be noted that a JPEG file can't be color corrected anywhere near to the same extent of a RAW file. You can adjust slight color casts, but for the most part, the color balance is fixed with JPEG files.

RAW files, on the other hand, can be fully color correct regardless of how off things get. For example, you could set the white balance to fluorescent and even if you shot images under daylight conditions, you could still complete color correct a RAW file - A JPEG would be unusable. This is because of the way JPEGs and RAW files store data. To save space, JPEGs use one variable for the brightness and color of each pixel. Therefore you can't affect one without also affected the other. RAW files use separate variables allowing you to have full control over the color correction. Also, when you shoot a RAW file, the white balance (among other things) is saved either within the metadata of the file or as a side file. In both cases, the settings are not actually applied to the recorded pixels. Instead, the settings are applied to the image when opened. You can think of it as a customized preset as opposed to actually changing pixels like a JPEG does.

If you want to get warmer tones from a Nikon, or any camera for that matter, just set the AWB to overcast or cloudy and the camera will automatically warm up the image. While this is a quick and dirty way of doing it, it's still better to just shoot RAW or get it right in camera as opposed to "fixing" things in post just in case.

Another option would to set the AWB to daylight and use a warming filter such as a 81A from Hoya or Tiffen, or a KR2 from Heliopan or B+W.

But what if you just want the right color as opposed to warm or cool? Easy. Just use the X-Rite Color Checker Passport. This is a small plastic case with an array of pigments. Take a photo of the CCP under the same lighting conditions as your subject. In post, the supplied software will detect the squares of pigments, analyzes their color, and adjusts the color of the file so that all of the color swatches are the exact color that they should have been. It's a form of customized color calibration for your camera and one of the best and easiest ways to get spot-on colors.

If you're talking about JPEG files from the camera, there will be differences. If you shoot raw and use appropriate tools, like a Macbeth chart (Colorchecker in modern parlance), then the results will be nearly the same. It's up to you, in post processing, to make the warmth the way you want.

You can change the skin tones and general colour shades in two ways. Either by setting up the camera to shoot warmer or cooler, or later in any number of apps or softwares in the computer. You can do that with any reputable brand of camera.

The skin colour as shot "naturally" by any brand of camera is one of the least important reasons for buying that brand.

No, i always saw canon add more colors to natural so in most of situations photos from canon are more pleasant but not actual image colors.

No, a Canon shoots balls at Nikon

Every digital on the market can be adjusted so that you get any damn tone you want out of it… This is a non-issue.

I can take the same photo with a Pentax, Canon and Nikon, and you couldn't tell the difference…
