Back in the old days we did a thing called colourbacking, where you put a corrective filter on the lens, and then filtered the flash to match the ambient light. Generally, this was done with an 80A filter and an amber gel on the flash for tungsten, or an FL-D filter and a 30M gel for florescent. Now, of course, one would use white balance to replace the camera filter, but the gel on the flash is still required.
