OTOH, an expert color printer can correct for almost any light. I had a 8x10 done from a negative that was shot under a combination of daylight coming through the open door, sodium vapor lights overhead, fluorescent lights over the machines, incandescent work lights on the machines, plasma vapor from a metalizing machine. My printer was able to make it look like it was done under studio lighting. Unfortunately it lost the almost sorcerous look of the machine print had. You better believe it was difficult to make that print it had to be dodged and burned under several different filter packs. But it can and has been done. With digital images you can do it on your desktop.
