So where does the sepia > toning come from? It arises purely out of the filtration used by the lab for C41 printing, and is not a property of the film itself, just a workaround for the fact that it's difficult to get a neutral greyscale print on colour paper with this film. You can achieve sepia, or much fancier split-tone effects in any colours you want, within Photoshop or similar, starting from any greyscale image. There's even a default action supplied for sepia 'toning', or you can convert to RGB and mess about with relative densities of each of the channels via curves.
