: Agree,AWB should (almost) fully counteract the effect of a (slightly) colored filters. There is however another effect which tends to change the subjectively percepted "color", and this is caused by the glare introduced by most non ideal filters. This glare causes a luma offset which is quite often felt as a color (saturation) change. Most people experienced these glares when filming scenes, where high brightness spots are present. (see Michael Tein track 10/26/00). Remenber however that all objects in the scene "drop their shadow" on your CCD, causing the luma offset. Only a vectorscope can prove whether or not there is color change involved, but I doubt there will be any change...

Good point, though the VX-2000 lens appears unusually (for
a "handy-cam" format camera) insensitive to flare and ghosting
from point or large-area bright areas in the scene, so I would
not expect the above effect to be visible (though Tiffen filters
are, from what I gather, often uncoated, and the front surfaces
of the VX-1000/2000 optics are flat, so with Tiffen filters
the effect you describe is more likely than with almost any
other filter brand [and the self-fogging effect with Tiffen
filters would make this worse if the fog is present]). It may
be that the original poster prefers the slightly reduced
image brilliance caused by using an uncoated filter in contrasty
lighting...
