Does that require anything more sophisticated than a manual WB?
My experience is the majority of time manual post processing is enough. But I think this will vary from shot to shot. I found it interesting in Bryan's review, even in the second row of shots where he adjusted for WB, a few color channels were off just a little bit. That is consistent with my experience, in that there have been a few times when I couldn't fix a few specific colors. For me, this has been a percentages game. In some of my shots with the B+W 10 stop filter, AWB was good enough. In the majority of the shots, I can get to where I am happy by adjusting color temp and tint in post. Still others, I've gone in to adjust specific color channels and that was enough. But there are a few shots that I never felt I could get quite right with post processing. This isn't a majority of the time, but it does happen. I've bought a "gray card" (it's actually a cloth) that I plan on using on a couple of shots to see if it helps.
In scrolling through my shots, I confirmed my general assumption, the vast majority of time I use a B+W 6 stop ND filter. I perceive little to no color shift with that filter. But there are a few shots, usually in direct sun, where I have used the 10-stop.
