Good advice, or you could do what I do...
And that is not give a damn about "accurate" color... :D
Boy, I can't tell you how liberating that feeling is! Guess this is one of my quirks, but as long as I'm in the ballpark, I'm happy.
I think I would only get a color temp meter if I shot movies...

I know with the cameras that I have used that you couldn't do it, but what about Canon or Nikon cameras? I know you can "develop" the raw images through Photoshop with the temperature guide, but I think that cameras should be able to do so too.
Just a thought
