Well, if you really want to get into it you can have quite a bit of control. There are "color temperature" meters. There are precise color correction filters. There are color references that can be used to calibrate everything. But most of us are satisfied with a more subjective approach unless we are doing some kind of scientific work.

There is no doubt that things change color depending on the time of day they are shot (well, things outside). How much a photographer can control color, I'll still have to figure that out -- becoming familiar with different film types combined with different exposures and times of day. > > I am appalled, because it seems that when it comes to color negatives photography seem to enter the realm of the mystical. i.e. -- Hey, it's subjective what color negative film is, so it's subjective what color the prints will come out.
