It really doesn't matter with a digital camera. Most (all?) allow you to
adjust for color balance. I place a white piece of paper down, turn on the
lights and the camera reads the white and adjust for the lighting. I
remove the paper, put down whatever I am photographing, and the color
comes out correct.
Much easier than when I use to do film photography and had to remember
which filter to use on my lens.
