You need a filter for your camera lens to get a natural looking photograph under fluorescent light. Being just a unranked amateur don’t take what I say here as gospel. I do believe that they make a greenish tint to your pictures unfiltered.

It all depends on the color temperature of your lamps. They now sell CFLs with low color temperatures that emit light very similar to incandescents. Not at all like the old high color temp fluorescents.

HOWEVER, if I am setting up a photo I try to have a white or at least neutral grey card in the image so I can use white balance (in post-processing, because I prefer to shoot in RAW mode) to establish the correct colors.

This might not work if your camera automatically post-processes the photo.

I was aware of the different CFL bulbs available but the number of people who put out the extra cash for them is fairly small as far as I can tell. I don’t think that many people are worried about color correctness outside of photographers, artist and actors (and the occasional vain individual who thinks the CFLs make them look washed out).

My new camera does shoot in RAW and I have been shooting RAW since I bought it. I do need to take a Photoshop course one of these days when I have the time.
