I suggested an 800 speed film with a "pop" of flash in that flash (at 
daylight temperatures) allows for a more true representation of prime colors 
than letting the ambient light decide what you will see. Flash also 
"separates" the subject [detail] from the background. The flash effect itself 
can be as little as 1/25th (four stops under and still give a pleasing 
effect. 
You might test a flash indoors to see what I mean.

Slower films (ISO 400 or slower), let more of the orange-red spectrum in 
(onto the film) (or something like that). Faster films don't. 
**Someone who can explain the technical side of light can be more specific.
