I'm with Godders on this one. What's more, the ideal color temperature varies depending on the situation, IMO. For example, when I shot wedding reception pics in a somewhat dark restaurant with tungsten lighting, I chose to keep the look warm. When I shot ice- storm pics, I went for a cold, slightly bluish cast. The tonality is part and parcel to the subject meter. Setting it by eye is usually the best alternative.
