I have never seen this...
If the above were true, color crossover would exist in all color negative
photography, since the various tones of the subject would be "exposed" differently...
I have exposed negative color films in daylight over very wide ranges, with no
apparent color shifts. If the film is exposed under non-neutral lighting colors
(tungsten or fluorescent light), and not given enough exposure to properly
expose the various color layers (I add about one stop to the meter reading,
or rate the film a stop slow), color casts can occur in the shadow areas of the prints
with different exposures (if some are close to marginal), even with the best
correction given during printing...
