I wonder if there could be a situation where one color is so much brighter than all of the others, where you might use a filter to cut it down, so that you can get closer to a normal white balance without clipping that channel. It would probably be some weird lighting situation like a concert where they use three red lights and two green ones. I've shot in some places lit with red rope lights, usually converting the shots to B&W. I've wondered if things might come out better if they were lit with green rather than red. IIRC, there are twice as many green sensor sites as red. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
