"Daylight" color balance is 5600 deg K. This, I believe, represents approximate light temperature in mid-day sunlight. Open shade which is lit by a full blue sky appears to have a color temperature that may approach 10,000 deg K.
Is it correct then that if a video camera is white balanced to open shade light (10000 k +/-), then if we want any other added light to match in color, either electric or bounce, we would need to cool it down - i.e. an HMI would need some level of CTB filter and a reflector bouncing sunlight into the shaded area would need some sort of blue cast?
Would this situation also apply to interiors lit by windows through which anything but direct sunlight fell?
