Sun at 30 degrees is very close to that. However, there's the blue sky too up there, and it has a color temp of about 11000 K. For exactly the same moment of the day, it all depends of the ratio directsunlight/skylight of light hitting your subject. Simple experiment: get your model in a "hall" entrance of a building, use that as a tunnel that cuts much of the sky and lets predominantly direct sun light fall on the subject. Take shot 1. Then get the model outside, in "open", where she's lighted by the sun and a large portion of the sky. Take shot 2. Now get the model in the shade (just skylight) and take shot 3.
Shot 1 will be warm, much like "golden hour".
Shot 2 will be vary around "neutral", depending of sun/sky ratio
Shot 3 will be bluish.
All, with daylight, at same hour. What Fuji says in the data sheet is to use UV or even 81A in the open. Which makes sense to me.

Then the film is NOT "daylight" balanced. Very ODD. Jco

Well, since I was diggin' through Fuji's site, I took a peek at
Provia's
data sheet. Funny. They recommend the use of UV or 81A filters for outdoor shooting. So before anyone complains again about some bluish cast. Please RTFM ;-)
The film may be sensitive to colour shifts due to dryer heat, It may be a bit more UV sensitive than other films, which manifests itself as a bluish colour cast, or it could just be that people that think it has a bluish cast are more used to a warmer film.
