I have shot Portra 400NC under theatrical light and under museum lighting conditions and got great results. Just tell your lab what conditions you shot under. They can color correct. I have only used Portra 800 once under existing light conditions and the negs looked good, though more contrasty and grainier than the 400 Portra.
