under ordinary bright sunlight, i use no color correction. under cloudy skies, i use a little bit of warming with an 81 filter. shadows under overcast and i do digital correction. all film is balanced assuming an exact color temperature of the light source and that is seldom exactly what one encounters in the field. that is why there is only a limited amount of usefulness to color calibrating film/scanner combinations compared to color calibration of a scanner alone. unless you have complete control over the lighting, no film will be exactly correct for lighting conditions except by coincidence. close enough for your tastes is all you can hope for. BTW, when Ektachrome 64 and 160 were the norm, i preferred their cooler tones and Provia 100F is just a milder version of it, so far as i am concerned.
