The second pass versions look way over to the magenta to my eye.

I frequently find myself photographing in lighting that is beyond the color 
correction ability of lightroom, usually because of there being lots of red and 
yellow colored lights.

I ran into this problem at a dance last night:

The ideal would be if lightroom just let me push the color correction harder, 
either by doing a pre-adjustment to one of the color channels, or letting me 
set it to a color temperature cooler than 2000.  But, since I don't have that 
option, I took the photos from last night, exported them as TIFF, reimported 
them, and dialed in a bit more color correction:

I'm not entirely thrilled with the outcome of these photos in particular, but I 
am pleased by the potential of the technique.  I think it will work better in 
cases where the background doesn't have radically different color balance, and 
when I go into the shoot planning on using this technique.  I'd make my first 
pass at color correction the same on all of the photos, including one with a 
grey card, then do the second pass of color correction sampling on the greycard.

I suppose that the other option is just not to take pictures in places that has 
lighting that is quite that wonky.
