I think they could put a very blue base on the film, the equivalent of a
Wratten #79, and do the job.

I wonder what color accuracy is "good enough".  I understand that the eye
can adapt but that doesn't explain why all these 5500 degree light tables
are made.  Some temperature must be high enough but I wonder what that is.
