It also affects zone placement, since the photographer suddenly has to try to translate a specific colour into the film's brightness range. It's less of an issue (non issue for the most part) with averaging meters (this includes most in camera meters), since the effect of the strong colour cast in one part of the scene is likely going to be offset or averaged out by other parts of the scene.
