Most camera flashes are daylight balanced. Approximately 5500k to 5600k.

Does it not matter when it comes to matching the camera flash to an external flash, that a 1000 degree variance between lights isn't going to mess up your white balance when you use them both?

EDIT: Oops, I misread your post, it's only 100 degrees, not 1000.

That makes no sense. Probably 99% of the time you're using a flash, you're indoors under tungsten light.

Why do they sell CTO gels for your flash then?

Take a flash photo with a tungsten or incandescent lamp they appear orange. This guy posted a video about it here...
