In Japan there are two color polaroid films available. One shifts towards
blue but the other one shifts toward YELLOW which I find preferable for
outside landscapes, interiors etc. Sorry I don't have the film names and
numbers in front of me right now. They both should be available worldwide.

Also with the polaroid film it gets REAL slow with long exposures whether
color or B+W. On dark cloudy days it takes MUCH longer than your meter or
the film speed indicates. If a 15 second exposure didn't work I have
increased the next exposure to 1 minute - that is at least two stops more
rather than trying just one stop increase. Interior shots of a big room
took 15 minutes with lots of daylight coming in some windows and the room
lights one.

Any way be prepared to wait when the light is dim...that is my experience.
In bright light all the films work well with that nice instant
gratification.
